Super Eagles Denied Victory in Warsaw as Poland Strike Twice Late for 2-2 Draw

 



Nigeria's Super Eagles were denied victory in dramatic fashion after Poland scored late in both halves to force a 2-2 draw in an entertaining international friendly played in Warsaw.


The Super Eagles appeared on course for a memorable away victory after goals from Terem Moffi and Paul Onuachu handed the visitors the lead on two occasions. However, the hosts demonstrated remarkable resilience, finding crucial equalizers at the death of both halves to rescue a share of the spoils.


Nigeria opened the scoring through Moffi, who capitalized on the team's attacking pressure to put the Super Eagles ahead. Just when it seemed the visitors would carry their advantage into the break, Poland struck in stoppage time to restore parity and send both teams into the dressing room level.


The second half followed a similar script, with Nigeria once again taking control of proceedings. Onuachu calmly converted from the penalty spot to restore the Super Eagles' lead and put them within touching distance of victory.


As the clock ticked down, Nigeria looked set to secure an impressive result on Polish soil. However, the hosts had other plans, netting another late goal deep into stoppage time to deny the Super Eagles maximum points.


Despite the disappointment of conceding twice in crucial moments, the encounter offered several positives for Nigeria, particularly the attacking contributions of Moffi and Onuachu, as well as the team's ability to create scoring opportunities against a determined European opposition.


The result serves as another valuable test for the Super Eagles as they continue preparations for upcoming international assignments, while Poland will draw confidence from their fighting spirit and ability to respond under pressure.


In the end, both sides settled for a hard-fought 2-2 draw in a contest that showcased attacking quality, resilience, and late drama in the Polish capital.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
