Spotlight Prove Too Stubborn For Super Eagles As Both Teams Settle For Draw In Katsina

Nigeria National League (NNL) side Spotlight FC held the Super Eagles to a goalless draw in a friendly played in Katsina on Tuesday.
The match was staged to open the new, 35,000-capacity Karkanda Stadium in Katsina built by the state government.

Spotlight are launching an ambitious drive to feature in the Nigeria top flight come next season, while the Eagles, made up of players from the domestic league, used this match to continue their preparation for next month’s AFCON qualifier at home to Chad.

Both teams created numerous chances but could not find the back of the net in 90 minutes of entertaining action.

It was coach Stephen Keshi’s first match since he returned for his second spell in charge of the Eagles.
