International Friendly: How Super Eagles fared against Brazil

 

Five-time world champions were forced to their second draw by Nigeria’s Super Eagles in a highly entertaining match at the Singapore National Stadium on Sunday.

Sportinglife.ng takes a look at the performance of the Eagles

Francis Uzoho:  He made some good saves to deny the South Americans before he was injured in the second half. He should not be saved for Brazil’s equaliser.  7/10

Brazil v Nigeria

William Troost-Ekong:  He defended well but should be blamed for the equaliser having failed to organise his defence. 6/10

Jamilu Collins:  He struggled to checkmate Renan Lodi in the second half. (5/10)

Chidozie Awaziem: He is growing with confidence by the day.  Made some good runs upfront and defended well. 6/10

Semi Ajayi:  He wasn’t frightened by the presence of the Brazilian attackers. He showed he was a good replacement for Leon Balogun.  6/10

Wilfred Ndidi:  No doubt he missed the services of Oghenkaro Etebo, with the way he worked tirelessly to hold the midfield. . He tried some shots from outside the eighteen. Sadly he got a yellow card. 7/10

Joe Aribo: He capped his outing with a brilliant goal which was his second for Nigeria.  6/10

Samuel Chukwueze:  He looked dangerous on the counter and had his effort saved in the closing stages of the match. 6/10

Moses Simon: He set up Aribo for the opening goal and  gave right back Dani Alves a lot of headache with his runs.

Victor Osimhen: Not the best of outing from the Lille of France attacker despite seeing his effort saved by Ederson  6/10

The Substitutes

Maduka Okoye: He replaced Uzoho and was not tested. 4/10
