Following Nigeria’s humiliating 4-0 loss to Portugal in a World Cup warm-up match on Thursday, a minor drama unfolded.
While Nigerians were fuming over the team’s failure to ‘fight’ on the field and consecutive friendly defeats, assistant coach Finidi George and forward Moses Simon took the ‘fight’ to overtime.
Players exchange jerseys as a post-game ritual, which is what Simon and Portuguese defender Pepe were about to do when George was seen asking for the jersey instead.
Although they were inaudible, George was clearly not pleased that Simon beat him to the jersey. The players, however, ended up having their jersey swap and walked away.
Two goals in each half wrapped up a commading display for the Euro 2016 Champions.
Members of the Super Eagles will watch the World Cup as spectators after they failed to qualify, losing to West African rivals Ghana on away goal.
