Super Eagles Fight Back to Draw Russia 3-3

The Super Eagles fought back from two goals down to secure a 3-3 draw against Russia in a six-goal friendly match on Tuesday.

Kelechi Iheanacho put Nigeria ahead after 10 minutes with a fine strike from outside the box before Lechi Sadulaev equalised for Russia in the 30th minute following a defensive error.

Russia went on to take a 3-2 lead with about 12 minutes remaining but Nigeria rallied to level the match.

The result comes after the Super Eagles suffered a shock 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier last week.

Despite fielding a heavily depleted squad, Nigeria showed resilience to avoid another defeat and secure a draw against the hosts.
