Enyeama records clean sheet but Nigeria also go scoreless in Greece friendly

Greece and Nigeria battled to a scoreless draw Tuesday in an international friendly match that served as a World Cup warm-up for both teams.

Greece had their fair share of chances, but couldn’t get past Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, who made a superb double save on Georgios Samaras and Dimitris Salpingidis early on.

Greece had the majority of the opportunities in the first half as well, with Lazaros Christodoulopoulos firing a 30-yard rocket that just went high in the 21st minute.

Ioannis Fetfatzidis was turned away in the 28th minute by Enyeama.

Early in the second half, Nigeria picked up their attack on the strength of Chelsea attacker Victor Moses, but his runs from the left wing came to nothing.

In the 90th minute, Moses belted a shot from just outside the box that went wide.

Nigeria were coming off a 2-2 draw against Scotland in a friendly in London.

“We were not able to keep our ball possession like we did for the last 12 to 15 minutes,” Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi said. “We’ll see how it goes in the next game.”

The next friendly for Nigeria will come against the United States on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.

“It’s going to be a really good test,” Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo said. “It will be an exciting game and hopefully, we can raise our performance.”

The African Cup of Nations champions kick off their games in Brazil against Iran on June 16 in Curitiba.

They will also face Argentina and Bosnia in Group F.

Greece will play Boliva in Harrison, New Jersey, on Friday before heading for their base camp in Brazil at Aracaju.

Greece have never qualified for the knockout stages in their previous appearances at the finals but will fancy their chances as they have been drawn in Group C with Colombia, who will be without talismanic striker Radamel Falcao, Japan and the talented but ageing Ivory Coast.

Greece open their campaign against Colombia on June 14 in Belo Horizonte.

How to avoid crypto fraud

Use unique usernames and passwords while enabling multi-factor authentication.
Use an offline private key, a physical device that requires manual activation, whenever you access your wallet.
Avoid suspicious social media ads promoting fraudulent schemes.
Only invest in crypto projects that you fully understand.
Critically assess whether a project’s promises or returns seem too good to be true.
Only use reputable platforms that have a track record of strong regulatory compliance.
Store funds in hardware wallets as opposed to online exchanges.
