Stanley Amuzie’s fine first-half strike gave Nigeria a narrow 1-0 win over Charleston Battery in a Olympics 2016 warm-up friendly on Sunday.

Samson Siasia’s boys had not won since arriving the United States of America, with defeat to Mexico, depriving them of the chance to build any momentum.

The Africa U23 Champions never looked like losing at the Silverbacks Park, but their inability to convert promising opportunities was a concern.

However, defender Amuzie produced an accomplished finish 33 minutes into the first half to clinch victory for Dream Team VI, who face are expected to release their squad for the Olympics games this week.

Battery rarely threatened though Chris Tsonis had his goal waved away - their only meaningful effort of any description in the first half.

Nigeria had enjoyed few chances before the break, but Mike Anhaeuser’s boys were disciplined as goalkeeper Alexandros Tabakis made couple of fine saves.
