Title: Lessons Learnt From Houston
Post by: Folami David on Jun 01, 2013, 04:16 PM
Nigeria's Super Eagles overcame the setback of conceding first to draw 2-2 against Mexico in a friendly on Saturday.
.
Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez opened the scoring for Mexico but Nigeria pegged El Tricolor back through Brown Ideye's penalty shortly before the half hour.
.
John Ogu scored Nigeria's second on 40 minutes but the North Americans were to get a share of the spoils 20 minutes before the end when Chicharito completed his brace in predatory fashion.
.
For Nigeria, it is excellent preparation for a big month of World Cup qualifying matches (against Kenya and Namibia) and the 2013 Fifa Confederations Cup in Brazil but what can we say we learnt from this fixture against the smooth-playing El Tri?
.
On a night when 62,107 supporters crammed into the Reliant Stadium in downtown Houston, Texas, supersport.com runs the rule on the good, the bad and the ugly from the Super Eagles' 2-2 draw against the three-time Concacaf champions.
