The Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Republic of Ireland shared the spoils at Craven Cottage in a 1-1 draw. A Michael Eneramo goal in the 30th minute was quickly negated by a Robbie Keane finish in the 38th as both teams got in a warmup in preparation for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers. The match was also a chance for both teams to give debuts to several new players and examine the depths of their squads. With veterans like Kanu, Osaze Odemwingie, Vincent Enyeama and Obinna Nwanneri on the bench, it was up to the new boys-Sone Aluko, Sam Sodje, Yusuf Mohammed and Eneramo to make their mark and give Eagles coach Amodu Shuaibu a selection headache. Next up for the Super Eagles is the friendly vs France on June 2nd.
