An international friendly pits Algeria against Nigeria today as two teams who missed out on the World Cup face off.
The Super Eagles fell to defeat against Ghana in their Qatar play-off earlier this year as Cameroon downed Algeria, leaving this friendly as a chance to prepare for a crack at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Already in this international break, Jose Peseiro’s Nigeria side have taken on an Algeria B team made up of home-based players from the North African nation.
That clash behind closed doors finished 2-2 as goals from Alex Iwobi and Cyriel Dessers rescued a draw for the visitors.
