The Super Eagles may have lost 2-0 to Guinea in a final AFCON warm-up today in Dubai, but SCORENigeria has been reliably informed the team posted a good overall performance with several players proving their worth.
Who are these players?
5.Stanley Nwabali
He did not keep a clean sheet on his international debut, but he oozed confidence and must now be considered ahead of Francis Uzoho to start in goal vs Equatorial Guinea Sunday.
4.Sadiq Umar
He played out his heart as the top striker in a 4-3-3 formation. He caused the penalty, which Moses Simon failed to put away. However, he could improve on his finishing.
3.Raphael Onyedika
He was lively as a second pivot in midfield playing alongside Awaziem. He will certainly be pushing to start Sunday in Abidjan.
2.Chidozie Awaziem
He has been known to play at right back as well as a central defender, but the Boavista star was in his element today as the Super Eagles main defensive midfielder. He started out in Europe in this position.
- Alhassan Yusuf
He was all over the pitch, buzzing like a bee, as he was given a free license in midfield. For his long-awaited Super Eagles debut he was unfazed and enjoyed an all-action display to earn a lot of commendation. He could be the joker of this team at the AFCON.
