Friendly: Eagles bow to US

Super Eagles unbeaten run finally came to end with a 1-2 loss to the Americans in both sides’ World Cup send-off game.
Jozy Altidore ended a six-month scoreless streak with a pair of goals.
Altidore tapped in Fabian Johnson’s cross in the 31st minute, stopping a 27-match scoreless streak for club and country, with his first goal since December 4 for Sunderland against Chelsea.
He doubled the lead in the 68th, running onto Michael Bradley’s looping 30-yard pass over the defence, taking a touch with each foot as he cut inside of Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, and beating goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama with a right-footed shot from 12 yards.
Meanwhile, Victor Moses spoiled Tim Howard’s hopes of a clean sheet in his 100th international appearance, with a late consolation from the penalty spot.
The Americans were undefeated in their send-off series for the first time, beating the African champions following a 2-0 victory over Azerbaijan and a 2-1 win over Turkey.
The Super Eagles will open their World Cup campaign against Iran in Curitiba, Brazil, while the Americans will battle Ghana, the team that eliminated them from the last two tournaments.
