Peru defeated the Super Eagles of Nigeria by 1-0 in Wednesday's Fifa sanctioned friendly played at the National Stadium, Lima. <br /><br />The aim of the friendly was to serve as a tune-up game for next month's World Cup(and Afcon) qualifiers for both teams, and a testimonial match for Peru's most capped player Roberto Palacios.<br /><br />Hamburg's Paolo Guerrero nicked the only goal of the game nine minutes before the interval. Schalke 04 player Jefferson Farfan escaped through the midfield, found Luis Ramirez, who played a pass for an unmarked Guerrero to score.<br /><br />Nigeria stepped up the tempo in the second stanza, with the introduction of their Europe based players - Ehiosun, Oduamadi, Lawal, Obiorah and Soriola - but their dominance did not translate into goals.<br /><br />Though the Eagles lost, the positives from the game was the performance of Enyimba's Kalu Uche, the discipline and hard-work exhibited by a squad made up of largely home based players.<br /><br />The Eagles next play competitive fixtures against Namibia, Malawi and Rwanda in a busy month of June. <br /><br /><b>Photo Credit: allnigeriasoccer.com</b><br /><br /><br />
