Super Eagles defeat Luxembourg 3-1

The Super Eagles defeated Luxembourg 3-1 in their second international friendly in four days on Tuesday.

It was their second win in four days after earlier pipping Mali 1-0 on Friday.

Goals from Brown Ideye, Odion Ighalo and Kelechi Iheanacho, his second goal in two games, secured the win for the Eagles.

Luxembourg’s goal was scored by Vincent Thill.

The hosts almost went in front in the fifth minute but Musa Mohammed was on hand to clear the danger.

Alex Iwobi had Nigeroa’s first real chance in the 11th minute, going one-on-one with the hosts’ keeper but the Arsenal starlet failed to score.

A minute later Aminu Umar missed from close range off Ideye’s knock down.

Ideye went close for the Eagles in the half hour mark but his effort was parried away by Luxembourg’s keeper.

The Eagles finally broke the deadlock on 35 minutes through Ideye, who finished off a rebound by Onazi after Umar had set the chance up following a brilliant run from the left.
