Euro co-hosts held by Nigeria

Austria's recent struggles continue

Austria have drawn 1-1 with Nigeria in their latest warm-up game ahead of Euro 2008. Josef Hickersberger's side will co-host the summer tournament with Switzerland and had hoped to pick up some much-needed confidence with the contest drawing ever closer. However, having been held by their African counterparts at Ernst Happel Stadion they have now won just one of their last 11 fixtures. Roman Kienast gave the hosts the lead on 13 minutes, only to see Kalu Uche equalise for Nigeria just six minutes later. Nigeria fielded a strong side, including English-based quintet John Obi Mikel, Joseph Yobo, Kanu, Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Victor Anichebe and proved to be more than a match for their struggling opponents. Austria now have just one more friendly, against Malta on Friday, in which to finalise their preparations ahead of a tough European Championship group which will see them face Germany, Poland and Croatia.
