PRE AFCON Friendly: Musa, Chukwueze scores as Super Eagles win in Cameroon
Musa did not finish the first half before he was replaced by Alex Iwobi.
Ahmed Musa and Samuel Chukwueze were the goal scorers on Friday as the Super Eagles romped to a 2-0 win in a friendly against Cameroonian club, Coton Sports Garoua.
Starved of any high-profile friendly in the build-up to the African Cup of Nations starting this weekend, the Super Eagles opted to test their might against the 15-time Cameronian League champions.
Captain Musa delivered the first goal of the game before Moses Simon connected well with Chukwueze for the second goal in the second 45 minutes.
The manager made use of different sets of players for both halves.
Maduka Okoye started in goal in the first half with the quartet of Ola Aina, Zaidu Sanusi, William Troost-Ekong and Kenneth Omeruo in the backline.
While Ahmed Musa and Taiwo Awoniyi led the attack, the midfield was manned by Wilfred Ndidi, Jo Aribo, Kelechi Iheanach and Chidera Ejuke.
Musa did not finish the first half before he was replaced by Alex Iwobi.
For the second 45 minutes, Francis Uzoho was in goal while the backline had Olisa Ndah, Zaidu Sanusi, Semi Ajayi and Chidozie Awaziem in action.
Frank Onyeka, Kelechi Nwakali Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon and Sadiq Umar were all in action with the duo of Henry Onyekuru and Peter Olayinka also joining the game from the bench.
A friendly between the first and second eleven is also still expected before the Super Eagles file out for their first official game in Cameroon against the Pharaohs of Egpyt on Tuesday.
The three-time African champions have other group games against Sudan on 15th January and Guinea-Bissau four days after.
