Reliable Kparobo Arierhi opened the scoring for Nigeria in the 10th minute.

The Young Pharaohs equalised in the 65th minute courtesy of Ahmed Kaabaka’s fine strike.


Nigeria secured victory through a Precious Benjamin penalty seven minutes from time.

The Flying Eagles are expected to play one more friendly before the start of the U-20 AFCON.
