Torres, Correa turn scoreboard on its head after Nwakali stunner

Kelechi Nwakali fired in a spectacular strike from range to put the hosts deservedly ahead on the half-hour mark, only to see Ángel Correa immediately level for the visitors after collecting a fine through ball by Thomas Partey.

Having netted a brace in his last competitive game for Atlético on Sunday, Torres came on at half time - to a rapturous reception from the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium - and headed Los Rojiblancos in front when he connected with a Correa corner with an hour gone.

Usman scores fine solo effort before Garcés thumps in the winner.


Muhammed Usman looked to have secured a draw for Nigeria B with a sensational solo goal ten minutes from time, but 18-year-old substitute Borja Garcés made sure Atleti had the final word soon after, beating keeper Femi Thomas with an unstoppable drive into the top corner.
