Nigeria vs Mozambique: Super Eagles secure impressive win as Uzoho struggles again
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have managed a 3-2 win over the Mambas of Mozambique in an international friendly on Monday afternoon, October 16.
Having played a 2-2 draw with the Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia inside the Estadio Municipal De Portimao in Portugal on Friday night, Jose Peseiro’s side went all out for the win against the Mambas.
However, they had to come from behind to secure victory, with goalkeeper Francis Uzoho struggling again.
Barely six minutes into the encounter, Geny Catamo opened the scoring for Mozambique in a dramatic fashion, as Uzoho was hapless in goal.
