Nigeria Dream Team VI defeated an impressive Amakson Academy 3-0 in a final test game ahead of Sunday's crucial CAF U23 Championship qualifier in Congo.
The Nigeria U23s lined up their first team led by skipper Azubuike Okechukwu playing alongside the likes of Godwin Saviour, Stanley Amuzie, Junior Ajayi, Oghenekaro Etebo in the first half, but they could not find their way through the Amakson defence in the first half.
Portugal-based Shehu Abdullahi opened scoring, before FC Taraba skipper Usman Mohammed made it 2-0 early in the second half off a goalmouth scramble.
The Nigeria Olympic team extended their advantage late on through Turkey-based Umar Aminu.
They are scheduled to depart Abuja Thursday afternoon for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where they will spend the night, before they will fly out to Pointe Noire on Friday.
The CAF U23 showdown is billed for Sunday with Nigeria enjoying a 2-1 lead from the match in Port Harcourt.
