Nigeria's Super Eagles faced a 2-0 defeat against Syli National of Guinea in a friendly match held in Abu Dhabi on Monday. Despite a stellar starting lineup that included Stanley Nwabali, William Troost-Ekong, and others, the Eagles struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game. Guinea took an early lead on the 14th minute through Aguibou Camara, leaving the Eagles trailing.
A missed penalty by Moses Simon on the 20th minute added to Nigeria's woes. Despite several attempts to level the score, the Guinean defense held firm, and Facinet Conté doubled the lead on the 64th minute.
Manager Jose Peseiro made strategic substitutions, but the Super Eagles couldn't recover. The defeat follows a commanding 12-0 victory in a test game just a day prior, leaving fans and pundits questioning the team's preparedness for AFCON 2023.
