OLA AINA 7/10
Improved on his performance from the previous game. An above average showing from the Nottingham Forest defender.

The captain had an excellent game. He exhibited his leadership quality in the defence.
SEMI AJAYI 8/10
Another impressive performance from the West Bromwich Albion defender. He performed his defensive duty well and make forays upfront.

A solid display from the defender. He combined well with the duo of William Troost-Ekong and Semi Ajayi.

The Leicester City star was behind most of the team’s impressive attacking moves in the game. He replaced by Frank Onyeka 20 minutes from time.

An above average display from the young midfielder. He was replaced by Raphael Onyedika.
SAMUEL CHUKWUEZE 5/10
An underwhelming display from the winger. He was replaced before the break.

He was Nigeria’s best player in the game. The Atalanta winger had a goal controversially ruled out for offside.

Made good contributions after his introduction. He was close to getting an assist for the second consecutive game.

Boniface just dey fall like card, he had somehow mixed game sha. I think eguavoen deserve the job permanently and the NFF shd give him free hand to operate, the players love him and they show commitment.
If Ndidi is getting a 8, then Fisayo is 9. Fisayo was the best in midfield today. Since Mikel left, we’ve never seen a consistend commanding midfield like we’ve seen since the introduction of Fisayo.
Wow he wasn’t that good the way you rate him.The writer was right about his performances,an honest rating without bias.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru did well yesterday and I hope he improves on his performances with more games he’ll be a star for the super eagles..
I also hope his brother has a chance with the super eagles,he has come of age…
This is how I want my eagles to play. Fight for every ball, cover all the area of the pitch and make sure opposite are under pressure irrespective of who is home. Good play from super eagles, just that the goal didn’t come and the one we had was swallowed by the referee
Pls we should not over look the heroics of the Rwanda goalie . For me he was the man of the match. But not for him Nigereria will have won
The goals cannot come when you don’t have players who can feed the strikers intelligent passes in between the lines. Our creative midfield department is still lacking that’s why irrespective of the numerous world-class strikers we have, they still cannot score because they don’t get those killer passes.
This team is close to being world-class, for a long time a draw can be appreciated because of the display from the eagles, I saw fight and hunger from our boys which is great. Fisayo is a good replacement for Iwobi I think and the team can only get better.
Close to being World class for drawing 0 0 with Rwanda. Wonders shall never end. Lol. By the time we beat South Africa and Guinea, then they would eventually become world class. LOL.
