Nigeria 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 the Czechs – who failed to qualify for the World Cup – lost 4-0 to Australia in their previous friendly outing.
