Portugal are using the friendly against Nigeria to fine-tune their preparations and tactical approach ahead of their World Cup opener against the Democratic Republic of Congo, who secured their place at the tournament after narrowly defeating the Super Eagles in the final of the African playoffs.

But wait ohh

How did Nigeria fail to qualify for the World Cup?

Just last week, Nigeria's Team C comfortably beat Jamaica 3-0

Meanwhile, DR Congo could only manage a 1-0 win over Jamaica, whilst South Africa were held to a draw

Yet it was the same DR Congo and South Africa who stopped Nigeria from qualifying to the World Cup.

Football sometimes defy simple mathematics

I know the final score but I'll keep that for safety sake!
