Nigeria’s Super Eagles suffered a 1-0 defeat to the Czech Republic in their final warm-up match before the World Cup in Russia.
Chelsea defender Tomas Kalas scored the only goal of the game in the first half.
Nigeria also lost 2-1 to England at Wembley last weekend, while Czech Republic who finished third in their qualifying group, out of which Germany emerged champions, are not going to Russia and were playing for pride at the most.
Nigeria will face Argentina, Croatia and Iceland in Group D in Russia.
Their opening game is against Croatia in Kaliningrad on 16 June.
Despite the defeat, there was some encouraging news for Nigeria as Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, who had been out since April with a hamstring injury started the game.
