Honestly FIFA should try and change the man of the match thing to men of the match.. highest 3 outstanding players in a match.. I mean in a situation where almost everyone did well and you really can pick out who is the man of the match..
Cos apart from Moses simon Bassey,ekong Aina, lookman, and even nwabali were outstanding…
Good suggestion but unfortunately only one person can be the best in any competition
