Cyriel Dessers accurate in basic debut for Nigeria | Football

Mexico had already taken the lead in the first fifteen minutes via Santiago Giménez, but ten minutes after the break Dessers, who already made minutes for Nigeria a year and a half ago, made his mark. His well-aimed header was too difficult for the not-so-good-looking goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota. Unfortunately for Dessers, his goal was quickly undone by an own goal from Haarlem-born William Troost-Ekong, who played for FC Groningen and FC Dordrecht.

PSV player Érick Gutiérrez came in for Mexico halfway through the second half. Ajax player Edson Álvarez entered the field more than ten minutes later. Dessers was taken to the side a few minutes later.
