Brazil will test Nigeria’s post-Afcon progress – Rohr

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has described the international friendly match against Brazil as an ‘important test’ for his team after their third-place finish at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Sunday’s game will be the Super Eagles’ second game since they defeated Tunisia 1-0 to win bronze in the continental tournament in Egypt back in July.

They settled for a 2-2 draw against Ukraine last month and will now take on Brazil for the second time ever at senior level.
