Super Eagles’ Players’ Rating against Seychelles at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba
Sportinglife.ng takes a look at the performance of Super Eagles’ players in Friday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Seychelles at the Stephen Keshi Stadium Asaba.
FRANCIS UZOHO 4/10
Should be blamed for the goal the Eagles conceded against Seychelles for his miscalculation
WILLIAM TROOST-EKONG 5/10
The centre back was quite busy and was injured during the game
SHEHU ABDULLAHI 5/10
Did a lot of overlapping from the right back but no support upfront
JAMILU COLLINS 6/10
He did from the left back and provided the cross that led to Nigeria’s second goal scored by Henry Onyekuru
KENNETH OMERUO 6/10
Paired well with Ekong and had a good outing
WILFRED NDIDI 7/10
Ndidi was the key man in the midfield and won the penalty converted by Odion Ighalo
ALEX IWOBI 4/10
Struggled throughout the game and had to be pulled out OGHENAKARO ETEBO 5/10
Oghenekaro Etebo 5/10
Missed a chance to get on the scorer’s sheet
HENRY ONYEKURU 6/10
Took the place of injured Samuel Kalu who failed to show up for the match and justified his inclusion. Cappped his outing with a goal
AHMED MUSA 5/10
Bad day for the Saudi based attacker who predicted a 4-0 scoreline against Seychelles
ODION IGHALO 4/10
Scored Nigeria’s opening goal from the penalty spot and later disappeared. He ended up as the team’s highest goal scorer with seven goals.
SUBSTITUTES
SEMI AJAYI 3/10
Came in for Iwobi and made faulty passes
MOSES SIMON 5/10
Scored Nigeria’s third goal arguably the best with just six minutes from time
PAUL ONUACHU 3/10
It was his maiden game for the Eagles having replaced Oghenekaro Etebo in the second half but contributed little
