Nigeria suffered a first consecutive defeat for the first time in its history following Guinea-Bissau’s stunning 1-0 win at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
Mama Samba Balde’s first half effort proved to be the decisive moment of the game despite Nigeria’s efforts to salvage at least a draw.
The Jose Peseiro-led Eagles side created more chances and ended the game with 17 goal attempts, 10 more than Guinea-Bissau but only three were on target which is precisely why they lost.
The Super Eagles will now face Guinea Bissau in three days time away from home.
