Coach Paul Aigbogun insists the home-based Super Eagles have picked few lessons from their defeat to Mexico.

“A lot of them made their debut. I think it was a fantastic experience for them playing against a quality side like Mexico.

“It’s a privilege for them to play in a massive stadium like this and in front of the crowd too.”
