Zaidu earned his 30th cap for Nigeria this Tuesday, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2-2 draw against Jordan in a friendly played in Amman.

The FC Porto full-back played the entire match for the Super Eagles and once again played a prominent role for the Nigerian national team in a game marked by a balanced scoreline. Jordan struck first through Tamari, but Nigeria responded before half-time with goals from Simon and Emmanuel Fernandez to complete the turnaround. In the second half, Daoud restored parity and sealed the final result.

The draw against Jordan came in a test match as part of Nigeria’s preparations, with Zaidu completing the game without being substituted and adding another appearance to his journey with his country’s national team.
