Moses Simon's penalty helps Nigeria gain revenge against the Wild Dogs

  • Guinea-Bissau 0-1 Nigeria- That's it from me. I hope you enjoyed the ride. The Super Eagles return to action in June but before then, there are a lot of exciting club games to look forward to. We will back again when league football returns this weekend, but until then, bye for now. 
  •  Guinea-Bissau 0-1 Nigeria. It was not a convincing performance from Nigeria but they got the job done. However, there are some players who need to do better going forward. Chukwueze being one of them.
