7/10

Couldn't do much as they were all state dignitaries and sat with hands to their jaw as they watched their team being beaten by the super eagles.
4/10

Ethiopian supporters club
Was much lively during the first half and roared like thunder when the antelopes scored their first goal. They soon went to sleep after the eagles equalized and notched in the winner.
5/10

CAF officials
They observed with awe as the goal bound ball was cleared off by Obuabuna, making them to wonder when and how best to implement the goal-line technology. They had a wonderful afternoon as they were silently praying for the eagles to go through.
5/10

Ethipian ladies
This is where the action attraction lies. The coaching crew of the super eagles where seen glancing over there shoulders almost all the times, looking at those beautiful faces with pointed nose. Emenike, the goal scorer had to run past all the green-white colours of the eagles fans to celebrate his goal in front of the ethiopian ladies. Words on the street is that he planned winning them over with his performance on the pitch. They kept the stadium alive, and gave the home fans viewing from their sitting room something to watch out for whenever the ball passes the sidelines for a throw-in.
10/10.
Since no Ethiopian player passed the average rating, yours sincerely has decided to make the Ethiopian ladies his official women of the match.

omicron: You copied goal.com verbatim and instead of acknowledging them, you put your own blog link as if you were the one dat produced those ratings. You had Better be original!

hardbody:

Does a monologue amount to a conversation? Just asking

chucky234: Bias rating, no Nigeria player deserves 6 let alone 7 because the Ethiopians outplayed the Eagles throughout the entire duration of the match,the timing of their runs and passes were accurate.
Igiebor,Emenike and Enyeama scored 5 while the rest fared below 5, Mikel could only manage a single pass in 90mins yet rated 6.
Certainly SE worst performance since Keshi was appointed coach,we won yes but we were lucky.

orgasticdance: I don't think the ethiopians were that great. Playing like arsenal of old, all flair but no cutting edge or spine. If they play with same amount of flair and win us in the return leg i'll eat my words. Emenike is an impact player and deserves a big move to a major european league abeg. He is now arguably more influential to the team than MIkel+Moses. I hope he does well in brazil.

Saint Chukz: Who has Emenike's number here?.

toluleke: I feel IDEYE should be rated higher than that immediately he came in the game changed and with some lovely passes IDEYE-6.5/10..
KESHI-7/10 Lovely substitution..i don't except him to always play all is hitmen at once..

udilson: Am nt drunk jst depressed nd anger

Jarus: That was a fantastic performance from the Ethiopians. I salute them. They were just unlucky, they deserved a least a draw from that match. They had superior play, but inexperience on the part of a defender that committed unprofessional foul, and 2 moments of brilliance from Emenike, cost them the game.

I think Saladin Said and all their midfield and forward players deserve a 7.

Also, the altitude obviously told on our players. I saw a jet-heeled Musa strggling to run, an Oboabona panting as early as early 2nd half, a Moses so tired. Not a good game from Nigerians (except Emenike), but I can pardon them.

[size=25pt]NIGERIA[/size]

Vincent Enyeama
Game marred by a clanger which allowed Ethiopia to take a deserved lead, as he caught a speculative
cross after it had crossed the line.
Rating = 5/10

Azubuike Egwueke
Managed to produce a couple of good blocks to ensure that Enyeama wasn't severely tested. Contributed efficiently to defensive efforts.
Rating = 6/10

E. Ambrose
The Celtic defender was a solid performer in the back four, aerially superior to any of his opponents. Highlighted his strength to dispossess Said on many an occasion.
Rating = 6/10

Godfrey Oboabona
The right-back highlighted his defensive quality with a stunning clearance to deny Ethiopia a clear goal in the first half and generally enjoyed a productive afternoon.
Rating = 7/10

Uwa Elderson Echiejile
Echiejile recovered from an indifferent start to limit Ethiopia's burgeoning influence on the field with one or two impressive blocks. Shielded his goal well.
Rating = 6/10

John Obi Mikel
The Chelsea midfielder illustrated his awareness in the middle of the park with a couple of fantastic passes and dictated the flow of the Nigerian play
through the middle.
Rating = 5/10

Ogenyi Onazi
The combative midfielder put in a midfield performance full of purpose and efficiency. Linked well with Mikel to try and fashion chances at most
opportunities, but wasn't at his usual best.
Rating = 5/10

Victor Moses
The on-loan Liverpool winger disappointed greatly this afternoon. Despite showing his array of dribbling skills, he was kept in check by the Walya Antelopes throughout.
Rating = 4/10

Ahmed Musa
Like Moses, threatened to be played out of the game, but Musa came alive in the second half, interlinking with Emenike up front. Unlucky not to have scored after seeing a measured strike hit the post.
Rating = 5/10

Emmanuel Emenike
The powerful forward dragged Nigeria back into contention with a simply stunning strike which the goalkeeper had no chance to deal with. Was the focal point of play, and later coolly slotted away the penalty. A great afternoon.
Rating = 8/10

Nnamdi Oduamadi
Oduamadi was another forward player who roundly failed to inspire this afternoon. Spurned the few chances that came his way, including a woeful first half strike. Didn't offer too much in the finishing department.
Rating = 3/10

Substitution

N. Igiebor
Was thrown on in the second half in place of Oduamadi, but didn't manage to make a sustained impact.
Rating = 4/10

B. Ideye
Came on in the second half in place of Victor Moses.
Rating = 5/10

Paroman:
dude .....emenike plays for turkish champion fernerbache and he is yet to score a single goal this season. Y do u think a major european team will go 4 him?
