Home Based Super Eagles popularly known as CHAN Eagles lost their opening game of the ongoing West Africa Football Union Nations Cup to the Hawks of Togo.
After failing to the same Togolese team in Lomé a week ago in the Championship for African Nations qualifier, the Nigerian domestic players were expected to redeem themselves.
The Imama Amapakabo charges couldn't respond to the CHAN 2020 qualifier 4-1 trashing as they suffer 2-1 defeat to their purposeful first opposition in Senegal.
Moise Kossivi Adjahli scored the opener for Togo in the 15th minute before Lobi Stars Hitman, Sikiru Alimi put Nigeria back into the tie in the 33rd minute but an unfortunate own-goal from Remo Stars defender three minutes before the interval ensures a victorious opening game for the Togolese.
Nigeria home-based Super Eagles will now compete in the quarter final of the Plate competition.
