Super Eagles beat Al Gharbia, a local club in Dubai who play in the third division – 12-0 in a friendly match before tomorrow’s AFCON warm-up against Guinea.

Ademola Lookman fired four goals, Victor Osimhen and Moses Simon grabbed a brace with Sadiq Umar and captain Ahmed Musa also getting on the scoresheet.

There were also two own goals as the opposition buckled under the pressure exerted by the AFCON-bound Super Eagles.
Halftime scores stood at 6-0 in favour of the three-time African champions. And another 6 in the second half, making it a whooping 12-0.


The bigger test will come tomorrow when they battle fellow AFCON finalists Guinea in a final warm-up game before they fly out to Nigeria the following day.
