SAN FRANCISCO, June 01, (THEWILL) – The Super Eagles of Nigeria, on Thursday evening in Paris, France, defeated the Hawks of Togo by 3-0.
The goals came from Ahmed Musa, who grabbed a brace and Kelechi Iheanacho who got the other goal.
The three-time African champions who moved to 38th in the world and fourth in Africa took the lead inside the first three minutes of the encounter inside the Stade Municipal de Saint Leu La Foret.
Leicester City forward, Ahmed Musa pounced on a loose ball from Togo goalkeeper Alassani to finish with aplomb.
Arsenal midfielder, Alex Iwobi, was running the show for the youthful Gernot Rohr’s side and after playing a role in the opening goal, he brilliantly played in Musa who finished in style to make it 2-0.
The third goal came mid-way into the first half as Oghenekaro Etebo burst into the penalty area and his cut-back was tapped into an empty net by Iheanacho.
At the start of the second half, Rohr made some changes as he introduced Victor Osimhen, who got his long awaited debut as he came on for Ahmed Musa.
Arsenal-bound Henry Onyekuru also replaced Etebo but was unable to add to the tally as the game ended 3-0 in favour of the Super Eagles.
