However, the visitor leveled the score in the 61st minute thanks to a low drive shot from Amatucci.

Ebuehi grows from strength to strength. There is no reason why he should not be invited to the Super Eagles. He is far better than Akpoguma in centre defence. This season Ebuehi will shine bright.
Heaven bless Ebuehi and all the deserving Super Eagles players.
Is Ebuehi a central defender?
