Ghanaian centre-half Isaac Vorsah found himself head-to-head with his Hoffenheim team-mate ChineduObasi - and the Ghanaian will have bragging rights when they return to Germany.
ChineduObasi and Yakubu fluffed decent scoring chances in the box before Sessegnon threatened to open the scoring for the Squirrels with a delightful effort in the 38th minute.
While Nigeria's performances at the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola were lacklustre, there is no denying that players such as ChineduObasi, John Obi Mikel and Osaze Odemwingie have the potential to make the same kind of impact on the world stage as some of their illustrious Nigerian predecessors.
