The Uganda Cranes stunned Nigeria's Super Eagles with a 1 - 0 win in an international friendly. The lone goal was scored by Farouk Miya who turns out for Vipers in the local super league.


Speaking after the sweet victory, coach Micho Sredejovic said he was proud that though most of the players that were called up did not turn up, the 16 that finally did had fought like lions and walked away victors.

Farouk's 81-minute goal came off a deflection from a Nigerian defender as he tried to place the ball which Super Eagles' keeper Vincent Enyema tried in vain to stop but dipped far between the posts.
