Super Eagles forced to settle for draw as Iheanacho scored his first goal in three years for the Super Eagles

Nigeria drew their second friendly game against Tunisia in Austria after dominating the game for long periods.

The first goal of the game come through Iheanacho’s strike from Ahmed Musa’s cross in the first half. This marks the first time in three years that the Leceister City striker has scored for the Super Eagles.
Unfortunately before the stroke of first half, Tunisia’s defender, Mohammed Drager fired past Maduka Okoye from close range.

However, Iheanacho missed a chance to score his second goal after Tunisia’s Mustapha saved his penalty from the spot.

After the game, Super Eagles gaffer, Gernot Rohr, said, “We are happy to have had this opportunity to be camped in Austria for 10 days. It was a very good feeling to be together again after being away for 11 months, although we missed some key players.

“We have some positives to pick out from the games because inspite of missing some key players we still competed well. Now it is going to be difficult for me to pick our list for the AFCON qualifiers next month because of the new boys who did well.

“I believe these very good friendly games will help us to return to winning ways when we play Sierra Leone next month(home and away). Good results next month may see us qualifying for the 2022 AFCON already.”
