Super Eagles fail to win against Angola in CHAN 2016 warm-up



The home-based Super Eagles played out a 1-1 draw with their Angolan counterparts in a friendly match in Pretoria, South Africa on Wednesday.

The teams are currently finalizing their preparations for the 2016 African Nations Championship which starts next week in Rwanda.

The Super Eagles took the lead after 84 minutes when Ikechukwu Ibenegbu converted a penalty kick after Ibrahim Salawu was brought down in the box.

The Angolan, however, struck back two minutes before the end of the game from a corner kick preventing Sunday Oliseh’s men from recording a win.

They had earlier beaten South African club, Amatuks, in a friendly game at their training game 3-0. Nigeria will continue their preparation with another warm-up game against Ivory Coast on January 11. They will depart for Rwanda after the game.
