Nigeria defeated Egypt 1-0 on Tuesday evening, in an international friendly match played at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, the Delta state capital.

The Super Eagles came into the encounter, having defeated Seychelles 3-1 in their final 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier three days earlier at the same venue.

Paul Onuachu, who was starting his first game for his country, settled the game as early as the first minute, controlling the ball expertly before volleying past the keeper.

There were no more goals in the game, as Gernot Rohr rounded off preparations for the 2019 AFCON with a win.

Rohr will now await the draws for the competition, which will be conducted next month in Cairo.
