Super Eagles 3-2 Mozambique
The Super Eagles of Nigeria had to come from a goal down to defeat Mozambique 3-2 in an international friendly fixture played on Monday, October 16, 2023.
Against the run of play, Mozambique took the lead through Geny Catamo assisted by Witi as early as the sixth minute.
The Super Eagles responded through Nice striker Terem Moffi converting a rebound in the 19th minute.
In the 30th minute, New Boy Fisayo Dele-Bashiru assisted Frank Onyeka to put the Super Eagles in front.

Reactions to Uzoho after Super Eagles win against Mozambique
Despite the Super Eagles victory, the Nigerians descended on goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
It is the second time, Uzoho is under scrutiny in the space of four days.
Nigerian football fans lambasted Uzoho comparing him to Manchester United's Andre Onana for making a mistake in the 2-2 draw against the Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia.
After another mistake in the win against Mozambique, Nigerian football fans were nuclear with criticism for Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
Some Nigerian football fans believe that Uzoho has to be bribing members of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to get a spot in the national team.
Nigerians react to Uzoho
Uzoho was part of the Super Eagles team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and Nigerian football fans are asking he is not called up for the next AFCON in Ivory Coast.
It remains to be seen if Uzoho will be part of the Super Eagles as they begin a bid to qualify for the World Cup once more after failing to get there last year with a home game against Lesotho on November 13, one week before playing Zimbabwe.
