Poland snatches late draw against Nigeria in friendly

Nigeria's Super Eagles were held to a 2-2 draw by Poland in an international friendly match played in Warsaw. The Nigerian team, which had been on an impressive 11-game unbeaten streak in regulation time over the past two years, saw their run halted by a late equalizer from the hosts.

Nigeria took the lead in the 23rd minute through Terem Moffi, who tapped in a cross from Moses Simon, following a build-up initiated by Captain Wilfred Ndidi. The goal was initially disallowed but awarded after a VAR review. Poland managed to equalize just before halftime, with Kacper Potulski scoring in the 45th minute after a scramble in the box.

In the second half, both teams made substitutions to inject fresh energy. Nigeria regained the lead in the 77th minute when Paul Onuachu converted a penalty, awarded after a VAR review confirmed a foul in the box. However, Poland's persistence paid off in the fifth minute of stoppage time when Przemysław Wiśniewski struck a powerful shot to secure a dramatic 2-2 draw for the home side.

The friendly match served as preparation for both teams, with Nigeria missing key players Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman. The Super Eagles are building towards the AFCON 2027 qualifiers, with another friendly against Portugal scheduled for the following week.
