Nigeria’s Olympics team, otherwise known as the national Under 23 team, narrowly lost 0-1 to their Sudanese counterparts in Omdurman on Thursday.
Nigeria enjoyed better possession in the early minutes of the first half, but they failed to take their chances.
The Nigerian side caved in shortly before the first half break.
The Imama Amapakabo lads will aim to upturn the scoreline at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, Delta State on Tuesday when they host the Sudanese in the second leg of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics qualifier.
