DR Congo proved too slick for Nigeria yesterday in their international friendly game to hand Coach Sunday Oliseh his first loss in charge of the Super Eagles after three matches.

Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie located Dieumerci Mbokani, who turned sharply to fire past goalkeeper Carl Ikeme for the opening goal as early as the sixth minute.
A ball-watching Nigeria defence was punished for Congo to double their lead in the 30th minute, when Jordan Nkololo tucked the ball home after a great piece of attacking play from the left wing


In the 41st minute, Ogenyi Onazi’s free kick was heading for the top corner of the DRC goal, but goalkeeper Parfait Madanda did well to push it away for a corner kick.


Nigeria chased the game from the opening goal, but they did not create any clear-cut chance at goal and Congo were also resolute in their defending. There were no goals in the second half as Nigeria failed to really trouble the Congolese defence.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity. Of course, in the movie, their character's are close; it follows the story of a manipulative young woman named Nicola Six (Heard) who strings along three men including a writer named Samson Young (Thornton) in a bid to bring about her own murder.
