Late Poland Goal Denies Nigeria Victory In 2-2 Draw

Nigeria battled back twice to earn a 2-2 draw against Poland in an entertaining international friendly played at the National Stadium in Warsaw on Wednesday night.

The Super Eagles opened the scoring midway through the first half through Terem Moffi, who finished off a well-worked attacking move after receiving a precise pass from Moses Simon.

The visitors looked comfortable for much of the opening period but were denied a halftime lead when Poland found an equaliser deep into stoppage time through Kacper Potulski.

The hosts carried that momentum into the second half, creating several opportunities as both teams searched for a winning goal.

Nigeria regained control and were rewarded in the 77th minute when Paul Onuachu converted from the penalty spot to restore the visitors' advantage.

Just when it appeared Nigeria would leave Poland with a victory, the home side struck again in dramatic fashion.

Deep into added time, Patryk Wiśniewski found the back of the net to rescue a draw for the Poles and deny the Super Eagles a hard-earned win.

Despite the late disappointment, Nigeria produced a spirited performance and showed encouraging signs ahead of future international assignments.

Their attacking play caused problems for the Polish defence throughout the contest, while several players delivered strong individual displays.

The result leaves both nations with positives to take from the encounter after an evenly contested match that entertained the 54,408 spectators inside the stadium.
