Super Eagles’ 12-Game Unbeaten Run Ends in 2-1 Friendly Loss to Portugal
The Super Eagles’ 12-game unbeaten streak came to an end in a 2-1 friendly defeat against Portugal. Eric Chelle’s side showed early promise but conceded first when Pedro Neto finished off a 22nd-minute counter. Nigeria responded before the break as Akor Adams met a precise long pass from Maduka Okoye to level the score. Cristiano Ronaldo also featured but missed an early chance to make history against the Super Eagles. In the 75th minute, Francisco Conceição curled a superb strike past Okoye to secure Portugal’s victory. Both teams made tactical changes after halftime, but Nigeria could not force another equaliser. The Super Eagles will look to regroup before their upcoming World Cup qualifiers, while Portugal continues its build-up for the tournament.
