NIGERIA PLAYER RATINGS:

6 Chigozie Agbim - Tried hard to impress. Always too quick off his line.

4 Solomon Kwambe - Big climb down from Venezuela performance.

4 Benjamin Francis - On this evidence, hard to see why Taye Taiwo is not in the squad. Horrid.

7 Godfrey Oboabona - Always available for the last ditch clearance. Impressive composure, tackling and play-reading.

5 Azubuike Egwuekwe - Maybe it’s the partnership, maybe it’s him. But does not inspire confidence.

5 Fegor Ogude - Not up to his usual standards. Can play much better.

8 Ogenyi Onazi (MOM) - Loads of running, superb tackling, good vision for both the assist, and his near goal.

4 Sunday Mba - Barely saw him. Hardly provided support for his fullback.

5 Ejike Uzoenyi - Looked lost most of the time.

7 Brown Ideye - Plenty of hard work, lots of running, but decision-making needs work.

7 Bright Dike - Power, running and a good finish for his goal. But still not bought a Nations Cup ticket yet.

RATEABLE SUBS:

6 Kenneth Omeruo - Stabilised right-back position. Ominous for Kwambe.

5 Ike Uche - Put himself about, almost scored.

5 Emmanuel Emenike - Held up the ball well, but looked a mite rusty.

4 Ahmed Musa - Just couldn't get in the groove.
