Eric Chelle's tenure as Super Eagles head coach remains unblemished, courtesy of a thrilling 2-2 stalemate with Poland on Wednesday night, which preserved his unbeaten record.

n

Nigeria's Super Eagles, still basking in the glory of their triumphant 2026 Unity Cup campaign in London, burst out of the blocks, earning an early advantage that was the culmination of their bright start.

n

Terem Moffi's rich vein of form continued unabated as he found the back of the net, securing a well-deserved lead for Nigeria and momentarily silencing the Polish faithful.

n

As the first half unfolded, Nigeria appeared poised to carry their lead into the interval, dictating the tempo of the game for the most part, with their control and dominance on full display.

n

However, Poland struck a crucial blow just before halftime, as Potulski capitalised on a momentary lapse in Nigerian defence to head home the equaliser, restoring parity to the contest.

n

The second half was a closely contested affair, with Nigeria gradually gaining the upper hand and crafting the more promising scoring opportunities.

n

In the 77th minute, Nigeria's persistence was rewarded with a penalty, which Paul Onuachu calmly converted to restore his team's lead and position them for a potential victory.

n

But Poland had the final say, as Wisniewski shattered Nigerian dreams with a late equaliser deep into stoppage time, securing a 2-2 draw and ensuring the hosts escaped with a share of the spoils.
