Greece, Nigeria play to goalless draw in World Cup tune-up

Greece and Nigeria battled to a scoreless draw yesterday in an international friendly match that served as a World Cup warm-up for both teams.
  Greece had its fair share of chances, but couldn’t get past Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, who made a superb double save on Georgios Samaras and Dimitris Salpingidis in the 83rd minute.

Greece had the majority of the opportunities in the first half as well, with Lazaros Christodoulopoulos firing a 30-yard rocket that just went high in the 21st minute.

Ioannis Fetfatzidis was turned away in the 28th minute by Enyeama.

Early in the second half, Nigeria picked up its attack on the strength of Chelsea attacker Victor Moses, but his runs from the left wing came to nothing.

In the 90th minute, Moses belted a shot from just outside the box that went wide.

Nigeria was coming off a 2-2 draw against Scotland in a friendly in London.

The Africa Cup of Nations champion will play the United States in Jacksonville, Florida, in another tune-up friendly on Saturday and kick off its games in Brazil against Iran on June 16 in Curitiba.

It will also face Argentina and Bosnia in Group F.
