For the first time, Nigeria clashed with Poland in an international friendly on Friday.

Both sides, preparing for the FIFA World Cup in Russia, needed a favourable result on the night.

The Red and Whites particularly, playing in front of a fully-packed Warsaw National Stadium.

Over forty places separated the teams, hence, the hosts were expected to make a light walk out of the Africans.

But surprisingly, it was the visitors who showed character and resilience in the encounter.

The Super Eagles produced a masterclass display to defeat Poland 1-0.

Victor Moses scored from the spot on the hour mark to hand the West Africans a famous win over the European nation.

Gernot Rohr’s team kept Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski quiet, ultimately substituted.

Similarly, Nigeria’s next opponents fell 1-2 to Morocco, while world cup foes, Argentina thrashed sorry Italy 2-0.
