Nigeria 1-0 Egypt: Eagles secure narrow win

The Super Eagles defeated the Pharaohs of Egypt 1-0 in an international friendly tie played at the Stephen Keshi Stadium on Tuesday.

Paul Onuachi scored the solitary goal of the game in the early seconds of the first half with a superb volley that went straight to the top corner of the net.

The goal was Onuachi’s first goal in the colours of the senior national team after making his debut against Seychelles in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier last week Friday.
