The Super Eagles of Nigeria, again lost to Foxes of Algeria in an international friendly duel in Oran on Tuesday night.

The team under the tutelage of Coach Jose Peseiro, was unable to withstand the pressure of the Algerians in the match which ended 2-1.

Having taken the lead through a Terem Moffi 8th minute goal, the hosts were able to level up in the 42nd minute of game via a contentious Riyad Mahrez penalty kick.

Jostling for the winning goal, Youcel Atal put the Desert Foxes ahead with a 60th minutes long range shot which left Francis Uzoho powerless.

The result means Nigeria are winless in five games against Algeria. Also, Nigeria in an earlier warm up game failed to show superiority against the Algerian team B which held them to a 2-2 draw last week.
