Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Uzoho, faced criticism for errors, notably gifting Lesotho a chance. Osayi-Samuel showed early promise but faltered in defense.
Collins had the Eagles’ first shot on target, while Bassey proved reliable.
Ajayi impressed with a goal, contrasting with Onyeka’s stellar midfield performance.
Iwobi’s collaboration with Onyeka disappointed, revealing a need for a creative midfielder.
Boniface fell short of his Bundesliga form, while Awoniyi missed a crucial opportunity.
Iheanacho stood out as the best player, forcing saves and assisting Ajayi. Lookman’s impact was limited before being substituted.
