HALFTIME: Super Eagles 2 Jordan 1
Super Eagles come from behind to lead 2-1 against Jordan going into the break in this friendly in Turkey.
With as many as six changes to the Starting XI from the Iran match at the weekend, Nigeria pushed forward for the opening goal.
However, it was World Cup-bound Jordan who took the lead in the 17th minute through Mousa Altamari.
Nigeria thought they had drawn level moments later, but the effort was chalked off.
They finally made their dominance count in the 24th minute, when captain on the day Moses Simon drew them level.
Jordan again came close to restoring their lead in the 38th minute, but they missed the mark narrowly.
The Super Eagles then took the lead four minutes from the break when a loose ball found an unmarked Emmanuel Fernandez, who was cool under pressure to fire home with the left foot.
Super Eagles Starting XI vs Jordan: Uzoho – Zaidu, Osayi-Samuel, Ogbu, Fernandez – Onyedika, Onyeka, Moses Simon, Yira Sor – Akor, Lookman
