Super Eagles star Akor Adams
Nigeria’s Super Eagles suffered a 2-1 defeat to Portugal in an international friendly as the Europeans rounded off their preparations for the World Cup with a second consecutive victory.
In the tense encounter which took place at Magalhaes Pessoa Stadium in Leiria, yesterday evening, Wednesday, June 10, 2026, Pedro Neto gave Portugal the lead before Akor Adams restored parity for the Super Eagles.
A Channels Television report says that, “However, Portugal regained the advantage through substitute Francisco Conceição, who curled a brilliant strike into the far corner to secure the win for the hosts.
“The victory ensured Portugal headed into the World Cup on the back of successive wins, while Nigeria was left to reflect on a narrow defeat despite Adams’ equaliser.”
