Nigeria's national team enjoyed a memorable night in Saint-Étienne as they registered a 1-0 victory over France in an international friendly meeting on Tuesday. Joseph Akpala scored the only goal of the game in the 32nd minute after Ikechukwu Uche's shot had come off the bar and hit French goalkeeper Steve Mandanda. Now Nigeria look ahead to their 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Kenya and Tunisia.
Dynamo defender Ayila Yussuf came on to the pitch as a second-half substitute and played confidently the rest of the match.
