Super Eagles, Greece ends game in stalemate


Nigeria's Super Eagles and Greece played out to a hard fought 0-0 draw at the PPL Park in Philadelphia in their international friendly World Cup warm-up match.


The Super Eagles made all of the running in the opening exchanges as the Greek side opted to play deep and keep a compact shape, trying to cut down any space.

Odemwingie should have hit the target in the 14th minute but his shot from distance went well wide.
