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
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
Alex Iwobi: Expected more from the Everton player in terms of creativity and ball possession. 5/10
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

Paul Onuachu: Expected to see more from the lanky striker after coming on for Osimhen 5/10
Ramon Azeez: He didn’t contribute much
