Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles of Nigeria lost 1-0 to Algeria in an international friendly played Thursday night at the W\u00f6rthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt, Austria.<\/p>\n

The Desert Foxes took an early lead from a scrambled effort on a corner kick six minutes into the game.<\/p>\n

Bensebaini Rami pounced on a poor clearance off a corner by the Nigerian defence as he makes the score 1-0.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles will be up against Tunisia in four days’ time.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the Carthage Eagles thumped Sudan 3-0 in their friendly encounter at the Stade Olympique Rades on Friday.<\/p>\n

Saif-Eddine Khaoui opened the scoring for the Carthage Eagles in the 17th minute before Ali Maaloul got the former African champions their second goal in the 25th minute.<\/p>\n

Anis Ben Slimane added the third 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Tunisia will now shift attention to next Tuesday’s friendly against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The game will hold at the Jacques Lemans Arena, Austria.<\/p>\n

Nigeria defeated Tunisia 1-0 the last time the two countries met in the third place match of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.<\/p>\n
