‘A sign of good things to come’ – Adepoju hopeful about Nigeria’s future after Brazil draw

Former Nigeria international Mutiu Adepoju has spoken of his optimism of Nigeria’s future after drawing 1-1 against Brazil in Sunday’s international friendly.

The Super Eagles surprisingly held the five-time world champions to a stalemate with Joe Aribo scoring the opener in the encounter before Casemiro levelled for the South Americans.

The West Africans’ last meeting with Brazil ended in a 3-0 defeat in front of their home fans in Abuja in 2003.

Adepoju, who had 54 caps for the Super Eagles, believes the future is bright for the three-time African champions following their performance in Singapore.
