Completesports.com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU rates the performance of Flying Eagles players in their 1-0 semi-final defeat to the Young Scorpions of Gambia at the Cairo International Stadium on Monday night…
CHIJOKE ANIGBOSO 6/10
The goalkeeper was virtually on holiday in the game. He was not at fault for the goal conceded by the Flying Eagles.
DANIEL BAMAIYI 5/10
The captain was at fault for the goal conceded by his side.
ABEL OGWUCHE 6/10
The centre-back put up a solid display in the game. He was unlucky to end up on the losing side.
BENJAMIN FREDERICK 6/10
Did well despite the Flying Eagles going down to a 1-0 defeat.
SOLOMON AGBALAKA 6/10
He supported the attack was performed his defensive duties very well.
ONUCHE OGBELU 6/10
Gave an above average performance in the game. He was unlucky not to score a goal.
MOHAMMED AMINU 5/10
Drifted in and out of the game. Not really a spectacular display from the midfileder.
SAMSON LAWAL 6/10
Showed flashes of his best. His efforts was however not enough for the Flying Eagles to win the game.
HALIRU SARKI 4/10
A below par showing from the winger. He was replaced early in the second half.
IBRAHIM MUHAMMED 4/10
A disappointing performance from the winger, who has been one of the best performers for the Flying in this competition.
AYUBA ABUBAKAR 4/10
Another forward who had an awful performance in the game.
SUBSTITUTES
AHMED ABDULLAHI 4/10
The forward won a penalty and also missed it. He battled hard after his introduction early in the second half.
JUDE SUNDAY 4/10
Impressed after replacing Haliru Sarki. His fast and direct play troubled the Gambians.
ADAMS OLAMILEKAN 4/10
Unlucky not to get on the score sheet. Affected the game positively after his introduction.

The Flying Eagles have no ball skills, no cohesion and no marksman. How can they be described as “unlucky?” They actually had bad managers
No dispute,they showing was shambolic, they played like they had issues to deal with, like house rent, children school fees, marital issues etc, are they really U20?
I agree with you, very raw and unrefined approach to what is supposed to be a modern day football game. No noticeable point striker, the final touch was always faulty. The Managers too, lacked fresh ideas. They should go out and look for clinical strikers before the world cup
This one of the worst team that Nigeria has ever presented in any tournament. the team lacks cohesion, skills and the killer instinct, they can hardly stroke passes around for 2 mins. this team needs to be overhauled and the technical team change before the world cup otherwise they are going to bring more shame on themselves. NFA needs to send some of these coaches out to learn modern football and technique.
Goalkeeper Anigboso could have come out of his lines to narrow the angle and limit the space available to the Gambian striker.
He is not yet Super Eagles material by any stretch.
Ladan Bosso has never been a good coach, but he will always get the nod ahead of other good coaches because of those running our football. The same fate will hit the under 23 Team when hostilities begin soon at the under 23 AFCON. Imagine having a criminal like Salisu Yusuf handling the affairs of the Nigeria Under 23 side .
Nigeria will always put Square Pegs in Round holes.
Laddan Bosso….. Another heartbreak Loading…. I wonder how this guy continues to be Flying Eagles coach…. He knows nothing about coaching. We can not say they were ill prepared or no support from NFF…..
