Nigeria have defeated Iran 2-1 in an international friendly played in Antalya, Turkey on Friday afternoon.

Eric Chelle named a strong side for the game amid the absence of Victor Osimhen and Stanley Nwabali.

It paid off as Moses Simon opened the scoring as early as the sixth minute, with a mazy dribble and sharp finish.
