Nigeria’s Super Eagles faced a stern examination from Africa Cup of Nations finalists Zambia, but came through with a 2-0 victory.
Goals from the Uche brothers Kalu and Ike sealed a resolute win for Stephen Keshi, on a day when Captain Joseph Yobo equaled Nigeria’s appearance record.
Yobo exhibited a commanding Man of the Match performance on the day.
The first goal was all about Ahmed Musa’s pace. In the ninth minute, Taye Taiwo’s free-kick came off the wall, he found Fegor Ogude, who slipped Musa through.
Musa’s pace got him in behind, and his cutback found Kalu Uche, and it was in.
Chipolopolo finished the half stronger, especially in midfield.
On 74 minutes NPL top scorer Jude Aneke came on for Emmanuel Emenike for his first cap.
Ike Uche scored the second with a screamer on 90 minutes, and completed a nervy but resolute win from the Super Eagles.
Zambia XI: K Mweene, F Kasonde, S Sunzu, N Mulenga, J Musonda, C Katongo, W Njobvu, F Katongo, C Mbesuma, E Mayuka, R Kalaba
