Wilfred Ndidi, Joe Aribo and Chidera Ejuke were named in the park as Kelechi Iheanacho led the attack with Ahmed Musa and Taiwo Awoniyi supporting the Leicester City forward in a 4-3-3 formation.

Musa scored the opening goal in the first half as it ended 1-0 before he came off for Alex Iwobi.

In the second half, Eguavoen made changes to the players that started the first half.

Francis Uzoho, Olisa Ndah, Semi Ajayi, Chidozie Awaziem, Frank Onyeka, Kelechi Nwakali, Chukwueze, Moses Simon and Sadiq Umar were introduced.

Iwobi and Sanusi were the only players from the first half who retained their places.

However, Iwobi later made way for Henry Onyekuru and Umar was replaced by Peter Olayinka.

The Super Eagles will have another sparring game this time between a first and second eleven of the team.

Meanwhile, fillers from the team camp said Odion Ighalo could still make a surprise arrival at the team camp in Garoua.
