Poland equalised before halftime through Nicola Zalewski, after a defensive lapse from a corner kick.Paul Onuachu restored Nigerias lead from the penalty spot after a handball incident in the box, but the Super Eagles were denied victory when Przemyslaw Wisniewski struck a long-range equaliser deep into stoppage time.Speaking after the match in a chat with Brila FM, Moffi said he was pleased with both his performance and the teams overall display but warned that the next opponent would be significantly stronger.We had a good game against Poland and I am happy I scored, he said.However, I think Portugal will be a difficult test for the Super Eagles.  Nigeria will face World Cup-bound Portugal in their next international friendly on June 10.Although the Super Eagles will not feature at the 2026 World Cup, the team is using these friendly matches to test tactics and integrate new players ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The post Portugal will be difficult test for Nigeria Super Eagles striker TeremMoffi appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
