Published: May 26, 2018Team A that contained Francis Uzoho, John Obi Mikel, Joel Obi, Brian Idowu, Abdullahi Shehu, Chidozie Awaziem, Kenneth Omeruo and Oghenekaro Etebo were the winning side in the practice game in the Super Eagles workout on Friday morning after beating Team C in the final, allnigeriasoccer.com is reporting.
And they won largely due to the outstanding performance of Mikel, Joel Obi and Etebo, the trio had such a fine combination of play.
Another highlight of the game was the class of the former Chelsea midfielder whose years of experience and passing abilities shone like stars in the night.
