Kenneth Omeruo claimed the Super Eagles were unlucky in their defeat to the Eagles on Tuesday night.

The three-time African champions lost 2-0 to Eric Chelle's side in their friendly at the Grand Stade de Marrakech.

Atalanta star El Bilal Toure gave the Eagles the lead on 18 minutes after latching on a poor Chidozie Awaziem's pass.

Kamarou Dounmbia sealed the win with another goal after the break.

"I think we played a better second half, it wasn't a bad game , we just didn't take our chances and they scored two goals. Overall, I think we played a good game," Omeruo told NFF TV.

"I think it was good outing for us, fantastic spirit. The players that were here gave their best. We just couldn't score in the game."

The Super Eagles will now shift their attention to June 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic.
