The Super Eagles staged a dramatic late comeback to draw 3-3 with Russia in yesterday’s international friendly in Nizhny Novgorod.

Kelechi Iheanacho gave Nigeria an early lead before Russia scored through Sadulaev, Kislyak and Miranchuk to take a 3-1 advantage.

Nigeria responded with Edokpolor’s 78th-minute strike and substitute Akor Adams completed the comeback in the 94th minute, denying Russia victory.

The Super Eagles will next face Tanzania in November’s 2027 AFCON qualifiers, with the first leg scheduled for Uyo on November 11.
