The Super Eagles of Nigeria lost 1-0 to Algeria in an international friendly played Thursday night at the Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt, Austria.
The Desert Foxes took an early lead from a scrambled effort on a corner kick six minutes into the game.
Bensebaini Rami pounced on a poor clearance off a corner by the Nigerian defence as he makes the score 1-0.
Both the Eagles and the Desert Foxes had been redundant all year due to the coronavirus pandemic and Thursday’s tie was a good warm up for the Afcon qualifiers ahead.
Algeria, apart from getting a back-to-back win over Nigeria, has also caught up in terms of head-to-head as both countries are on nine wins respectively.
The Super Eagles will be up against Tunisia in four days’ time.
