Peseiro delighted to end Super Eagles’ barren friendly run

Jose Peseiro has expressed his delight after the Super Eagles ended their winless streak in friendly games.

The Super Eagles defeated the Mambas of Mozambique 3-2 at the Estádio Municipal de Albufeira on Monday.

It was the three-time African champion’s first win in a friendly in 16 outings.

Peseiro was happy that the Super Eagles finally put an end to the barren run.

“I am happy because after 15 matches, we have finally won a game,” Peseiro said after the game.

“We have not won a friendly game in the last five years. We have had eight defeats and seven draws but today, the result was good.”

Up next for Peseiro’s men is the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification games vs Lesotho and Zimbabwe in November.
