Coach Eric Chelle’s wards were unable to offer any serious threat to Guinea Bissau, for most of the first period , before the hosts finally scored the opening goal.
Forward Franculino Djú found his way down the right hand side and dribbled past Bruno Onyemaechi before firing beyond the reach of goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali. The Nigerian safe hands was left jaded by the goal.
Two more goals were scored by the homers, who savoured the victory while the Eagles were left sulking such an embarrassing defeat to a team, who football purists considered underdogs before the match.
