Iheanacho opened scoring for Leicester in the 24th minute, when he fired home a pass from about the six-yard box.
Compatriot and fellow Super Eagles teammate Wilfred Ndidi, who was a sub for ‘The Foxes’, assisted for the second goal on 79 minutes.
Both players will now fly out to Portugal for friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique.
Leicester City now have 30 points from 11 matches, two points ahead of second-placed Ipswich Town.
They thus remain on track for a prompt return to the Premier League after they were relegated last season.
