Nigeria vs Tunisia
MADUKA OKOYE 7/10
Virtually on holiday for the better part of the game. Produced a fine save to deny Mohamed Drajer late on.
KEVIN AKPOGUMA 6/10
Started the game at right-back before moving into central defence. Unlucky not to score on his full debut with his goal-bound effort cleared off the line in the first half.
LEON BALOGUN 8/10
Another impressive performance from the Rangers man. He can be said to be the man of the match in the Nigerian team, he is unarguably Super Eagles’ best performer in this international window.
KENNETH OMERUO 7/10
Put up a good performance and led the defence well following Leon Balogun’s substitution.
ZAIDU SANUSI 6/10
The left-back performed his defensive task well and made forays upfront. He was replaced in the second half by Jamilu Collins after picking up a knock.
SEMI AJAYI 6/10
Ajayi harried the Tunisians and disrupted their play, especially in the first half. An improved performance from the versatile defender compared to his lacklustre display against Algeria last Friday.
ALEX IWOBI 7/10
A lively display from the 24-year-old Everton player even though he was not actively involved after the break, but all the same it was a good performance for the player.
KELECHI IHEANACHO 7/10
The former Manchester City man scored a superb goal but fluffed another opportunity from the spot. A good performance from the Leicester City man.
SAMUEL CHUKWUEZE 6/10
Guilty of holding on to the ball for too long at times. Didn’t really make much impact in the game.
MOSES SIMON 6/10
Linked up well with Kelechi Iheanacho in the first half, but like some of his colleagues, failed to build on that performance after the break.
AHMED MUSA 7/10
Teed up Kelechi Iheanacho for Super Eagles the only goal of the game and also won the penalty that was missed by his strike partner.
SUBSTITUTES
CHIDOZIE AWAZIEM 4/10
Took the place of Leon Balogun in the 59th minute. Conceded two many fouls and was lucky to escape a booking.
JAMILU COLLINS 4/10
Did well in stopping the Tunisians after replacing Zaidu Sanusi even though he didn’t help the attack much.
CYRIEL DESSERS 4/10
Played his first game for the Super Eagles and almost registered a goal but his effort was cleared off the line.
CHIDERA EJUKE 4/10
Showed his dribbling skills following his introduction for Samuel Chukwueze in the 77th minute. A lively display from the winger.
