The Selecao proved to be too much to handle, but fans believe they could have done better
Fans have taken to social media to lash out at the Super Eagles after their disappointing 4-0 loss to Portugal on Thursday.
Nigeria played Portugal at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in what was a preparatory fixture for the Selecao ahead of the Mundial that begins on the 20th of November.
The Super Eagles were expected to put up a good fight against a Portuguese side that did not have Cristiano Ronaldo. However, they flattered to deceive.
Nigeria’s play was mostly disjointed, they offered very little in attack, and they were dominated in midfield. Bruno Fernandes scored a first-half brace to give Portugal a comfortable cushion.
Emmanuel Dennis had a chance to put some respect on the scoreline, but he fluffed his lines from the penalty spot.
Two late goals from Joao Mario and Goncalo Ramos ensured that Portugal picked up a deserved 4-0 victory.
Fans took to social media to share their displeasure with the result.

Nigeria’s football has not suffered this type of huge embarrassment.
This is shameful. Not even a goal or two defeat.
When I was I was looking at it. I thought It’s B team. Then I saw these Super Eagles regular players . I be said wait a minute. This is serious .
This is Nigeria we are talking about. We shouldn’t be at this level anymore
