Nigeria ran the game in the second half at the Stadion Wiener Neustadt but could not find a way past Cameroon, who had their goalkeeper Simon Omossola in top form. 

It was a balanced game before that second half. In the first half, the Super Eagles had some good moments. 

They started the game as the better team but could not create any clear-cut chance. However, Paul Onuachu and Moses Simon tried some efforts at goal in the opening minutes.

In the 31st minute, Onuachu had the first chance forcing the goalkeeper to a save with a header. 

The goalkeeper was called into action again by Simon, whose low shot was pushed out. 

In the 36th minute, Cameroon took the lead through Andre-Frank Anguissa. William Troost-Ekong, captain of the night, had cleared the ball into the path of Anguissa, who from the edge of the area beat Nigerian goalkeeper Okoye Maduka at the near post. 

In search of an equaliser in the second half, the Super Eagles played on the front foot but failed to capitalise on their chances. 

There were some poor finishes; Onuachu had an effort go wide, Kelechi Iheanacho fired wide from a good area in the penalty area. 

It was Simon who missed Nigeria’s best chance of the game, blasting over the goal from just inside the penalty area after a loose ball had fallen to him.  

 Cameroon goalkeeper Omossola pulled off some impressive saves. He saved from Wilfred Ndidi and Troost-Ekong (freekick). 

In the end, Cameroon got one over Nigeria, who will look to exert revenge when both sides play again on Tuesday, June 8, at the same venue.
