Nigeria created opportunities to score against Algeria during their contest but had to settle for a share of the spoils after squandering their chances.

Nigeria had 55% possession and 24 shots in the game, with two attempts on target.

Before that result, Nigeria beat Tunisia 3-0 and edged Botswana 1-0 in their opening WAFCON fixtures.

Nigeria have recorded three victories in their last five matches, including two draws. They have scored seven goals and conceded one.
