Nigeria extended their unbeaten run in regulation time to 19 matches; however, a late screamer from Przemyslaw Wisniewski denied Eric Chelle's side a deserved victory.

It was another brilliant performance from the Super Eagles, with Eric Chelle displaying the depth of Nigerian talent at his disposal.

Despite the absences of Ademola Lookman and Wilfred Osimhen, he managed to field two separate 11s in either half, with only captain Wilfred Ndidi and Banik Ostrava defender Abdullahi Bewene (Man of the Match) lasting the full duration. Still, the Super Eagles did not skip a beat.

Nigeria opened the scoring through Moses Simon and were on the ascendancy before Kacper Potulski restored parity, capitalising on suspect positioning from the otherwise brilliant Maduka Okoye.

Paul Onuachu restored Nigeria's lead from the penalty spot in the 77th minute, and with Chelle's side seconds away from beating Poland at home, Wisniewski released a thunderous strike from range which flew past Udinese's shot stopper and nestled into the back of the net.
