Beach Soccer World Cup: Nigeria suffer heaviest defeat with Portugal loss

Audu Adamu’s men made the wrong kind of history with their demolition in the hands of Mario Narciso’s side

Nigeria suffered their heaviest defeat in Fifa Beach Soccer World Cup history when they were beaten 10-1 by Portugal on Friday evening in Paraguay.

It was the worst result for the Super Sand Eagles in any competition since their 12-6 loss to Italy at the 2017 World Cup in Bahamas.

Coach Audu Adamu’s side took the lead thanks to Azeez Abu’s calm finish at the end of the first period.
