goal by defender Diego Lugano while John Mikel equalised for the Super
Eagles with a goal in the 37th minute.
A 51st minute by Uruguay’s striker, Diego Forlan however ensured the defeat of the Nigerian team.
The Eagles now have an uphill task to defeat Spain in the 3rd round of the Group B fixtures.
In his post- match comment, Coach Stephen Keshi said, “I think my
players played well and played to instructions. It was just one minute’s
lack of concentration that made the difference. Otherwise it was good.”
