The Super Eagles are back to winning ways! They saw off Iran 1-2 in a friendly international played in Antalya, Turkiye, on Friday.
Goals from Simon Moses and Akor Adams were enough to give Nigeria the victory against their Middle East opponent.
Nigeria began the game, played on the home turf of Turkish Super Lig side Antalyaspor, on a good note.
They then took the lead just six minutes into the match with Moses cutting in from the left wing to fire past Alireza Beiranvand in goal for the Iranians.
Despite a flurry of chances, the 1994 AFCON winners could not double their lead against Iran.
Just on the 61st-minute mark, Nigeria made their pressure count as Adams netted the second goal. The Sevilla man, starting for the injured Victor Osimhen, was fed by Atletico Madrid’s Ademola Lookman and wasted no time in dispatching the ball into the back of the net.
