Nigeria quickly raced into a 4-0 in a dominant first half that didn’t end before the Sierra Leoneans pulled a goal back

The visitors pulled a goal back before halftime and continued with their comeback with three more goals in the second half to draw the game 4-4.

It wasn’t a good second half for the Super Eagles who saw Osimhen stretched out with what looked like a broken hand.
