The Saudis went ahead against the run of play from a Salman Al Faraj goal in the second half, however, Nigeria drew level and and even went ahead from an Abdulelah own goal and a Kelechi Iheanacho beautiful taken goal. Nonetheless, a blunder deep into added time from Uzoho gifted Mohamed Kanno the opportunity to score and ensure Saudi Arabia ended their losing streak.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_144790\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-144790\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-144790\" src=\"https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-1024x644.jpg\" alt=\"Super Eagles team celebrate a goal\" width=\"696\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-1024x644.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-768x483.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-80x50.jpg 80w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-509x320.jpg 509w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-60x38.jpg 60w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-696x438.jpg 696w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-1068x671.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-1920x1207.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-668x420.jpg 668w, https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Icon_73685365-2-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-144790\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Icon Sport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Super Eagles team news ahead of Mozambique clash<\/h2>\n<p>Jose Peseiro will be without two key players: <a href=\"https:\/\/goalballlive.com\/super-eagles-hit-by-double-blow-osimhen-and-iheanacho-ruled-out\/\">Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho<\/a>. Both players played important roles in the team's last game with Iheanacho scoring after he came on while Osimhen was subbed off due to injury.<\/p>\n<p>Reports say Bright Osayi-Samuel has been picked ahead of Tyronne Ebuehi who started against Saudi Arabia. Bruno Onyemaechi, Semi Ajayi and Calvin Bassey will most likely retain their berth while Jordan Torunarigha will get his debut. It's also possible to see Kenneth Omeruo get a nod ahead of either Ajayi or Bassey.<\/p>\n<p>A decision is yet to be made on who starts in goal after the howler of Uzoho in Super Eagles last game which ensured the 2-2 stalemate.<\/p>\n<p>Okoye, Ojo and Adeleye will continue to push for a place in goal for the team, however, Uzoho could yet start in goal with Peseiro keeping faith in him despite the blunder that proved costly in the last game.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Terem Moffi will lead the attack along with Victor Boniface following the absence of Osimhen and Iheanacho.<\/p>\n<h2>Mozambique vs Super Eagles predicted lineups<\/h2>\n<p>Here is how we think these teams will line up in this friendly clash:<\/p>\n<h3>Mozambique<\/h3>\n<p>Jo\u00e3o Fasistencio (GK); Bruno Langa, Nene, Edmilson Dove, Domingos; Guima, Amadu, Geny Catamo, Gildo; Witi, Stanley Ratifo.<\/p>\n<h3>Super Eagles<\/h3>\n<p>Francis Uzoho (GK); Bruno Onyemaechi, Calvin Bassey, Semi Ajayi, Jordan Torunarigha; Wilfried Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Frank Onyeka; Moses Simon, Victor Boniface, Terem Moffi.<\/p>\n<h2>Mozambique vs Super Eagles confirmed lineups<\/h2>\n<p><div class=\"nsn-shortcode-plugin-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"shortcode-lineup\">\n    \n<\/div>\n<\/div><script type=\"application\/ld+json\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em>*Lineups will be automatically updated shortly after they're released<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Mozambique vs Super Eagles head-to-head<\/h2>\n<p>Mozambique and the Super Eagles have played 4 matches since 2009 in which Nigeria won 3 matches while 1 match ended in a draw.
