The friendly was Super Eagles’ first preparatory game ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after sealing qualification with a 1-1 draw away at South Africa over the weekend.

The game was shown on SuperSport where most Nigerians watch the game. But there some moments that TV cameras didn’t get.

These are five of those moments.
