Nigeria 4-4 Sierra Leone: Super Eagles Player Ratings

• EKOHOTBLOG, 14TH NOVEMBER, 2020

How did each player selected by Gernot Rohr fare as the African giants let a four-goal lead slip against the Leone Stars?

MADUKA OKOYE 5/10

Poor performance from the Sparta Rotterdam of Holland goalkeeper. Struggled to control his area and failed to justify his selection ahead of Daniel Akpeyi and Sebastian Osigwe.

KEVIN AKPOGUMA 5/10

Poor home debut for the right-back. Struggled with the pace of the game and was targetted by the Sierra Leoneans.

WILLIAM TROOST-EKONG 5/10

The centre-back was not at his usual best in the game. Caught out of position a number of times and couldn’t prevent his side from conceding four times.

LEON BALOGUN 5/10

Subbed off after the break following an injury. Failed to do much in the game.

ZAIDU SANUSI 5/10

Provided the assist for Victor Osimhen’s second goal but fizzled out afterwards.

OGHENEKARO ETEBO 7/10

He was Nigeria’ s best  performer in the game. Controlled the midfield admirably before things turned sour in the second half.

JOE ARIBO 5/10

Failed to impress in his third game against African opposition.

ALEX IWOBI 6/10

Scored two goals and gave the ball away for Sierra Leone’s equalising goal late in the game.

AHMED MUSA 5/10

He was a surprise inclusion in the starting line-up. An average showing from the captain.

SAMUEL CHUKWUEZE  6/10

The pacy winger was on target once and troubled the opposition defence especially in the first half.

VICTOR OSIMHEN 6/10

Sustained a bad injury in the second half. Scored one goal and missed a couple of chances too.

SUBSTITUTES

SEMI AJAYI  4/10

Replaced the injured Leon Balogun early in the second half. He couldn’t prevent the Super Eagles from conceding three goals after his introduction.

KELECHI IHEANACHO 4/10

Unlucky not  to score a late winner. Surely in contention to start the second leg after Victor Osimhen picked up an injury.

PAUL ONUACHU 4/10

Toiled hard after his introduction in place of Victor Osimhen. Still yet to prove he is ready for international football.

CHIDERA EJUKE 4/10

Replaced Samuel Chukwueze in the closing stages of the game. Not a good outing for the CSKA Moscow winger.
