He also thanked followers of the Super Eagles for their support. <br /><br />Keshi told the portal: ''It was a great game. I must commend the players because they played to instructions. The purpose of this friendly was to try out some formations and tactics and not to win at all cost, but knowing the pedigree and quality of our opponents and so the boys gave their all and I must commend them for this and also Nigerians for their prayers.''<br /><br />According to the schedule of the Super Eagles, they will lock horns against Cape Verde in their next friendly game on January 9 in Portugal.<br /><br /><i>Photo Credit: portlandtimbers.com</i><br />
