We typically get tired from the 65th minute, we have wasted too many chances in the first half.

The Algerians still have their energy, they have absorbed the pressure.

If we don't get a goal in the first 15minutes of the 2nd half.then we are in for it.

No be by energy. So far they are getting smoked and only waiting for their usual North African counter attacks.
Nigeria is lucky to have physically strong Center backs. An experienced striker better than Maza would have scored those two counter positions they had

Danelo:
Who else notice say Mahrez dey fear Bassey?

seunlayi:
Very clean goal. The whole ball was inside

Put sentiment aside, the ball bounce for line

Wotowotoman:
Why Chukwumagic no dey play? 🤔

Sunday Igboho dey seat reserve?

Now , they are all trying to feed osimehn to score and that can’t work unlike the other games when all of them had the mindset of scoring .. looking to only osimehn scoring will slow down our scoring chances ..

If only osimehn didn’t act childish the way he did the last time , trust me , there would have been 2 goals scored by the other guys … team work with individual scoring spirit ..

this is a very wrong analysis, did akor not attempt at goal with a very good chance? Have other players not taken shots at goal? Of the shots on target by Nigeria how many were from osimen? Oga watch match well.

Lookman get sense pass that noisy guy 10 times!

Tired when Nigeria is leading but when loosing or looking for goal, is another thing

I just came in to watch the ball. I like the 5mins of the first half I met. I saw fire in the guys.
I hope they can keep the momentum, victory shall be ours.

I don't no why u guys are just been petty, bcoz everybody dey give osimeh all the balls that's why we never scored, most of those passes were later passes, they simply hold the ball for too long, it almost cost a goal, release this ball one time and let the game flow upfront. Osimeh is a striker so giving him ball is not bad init

prinsam30:
Wasted chances , dominating the game without goal is useless, Algeria are just waiting for counter attack

Algeria won't see a single goal in this match. They're so poor so far. Abi na we make them poor. Our back four are solid. I like how they fight for the ball when we lose possession

quip:

it bounced on the line and went pass the line in the air before clearance.

This one Una dey complain about osihmen if dem sub am Algeria go come out in full force

I'm pretty sure that I've seen those lines drawn (goal line technology, anyone) to show if some or all of the ball crossed the goal line. Unless you're saying that the only thing the VAR does at this AFCON is review offsides only.

femi4:
lines are for offside

seunlayi:
He should remain on the field to deceive them and allow others with better chance to shoot at goal. Looking for him or Giving ball to him always will make us loose chances

We have chances ... but nobody has scored.. there is no need to remove him for now. Meanwhile..no alternative for Oshimen in that role.....Remove him..u give Algerians defence the leverage to attack fully.. His presence makes Algerian defence stay put.. Dis is football..it's not everytime goals come sharp sharp.. some u have to be patient until it comes.. Make some of u dey go play football for field sometimes...so u can know how difficult the game is..

Off to second half. We sure gonna win

That guy killed the team's chances with his over sabi attitude!

They must not sub Osimhen. And they should check VAR to see if that ball crossed the line for our first goal.

Abeg my brother no dey answer this bad belle People, they are looking for any means to pin on osimeh if we lose this game

Oya second half don start , Nigeria must score now

Juv2:
This is one of the best outings of super eagles in more than a decade now....I'm really happy/impressed seeing them making this kind of moves, dominating games, passing with precision, and hunger for goals.

The only thing lacking in this team is a creative midfielder... though Iwobi has improved but can't match a descent team.

Infact I'm also very impressed. See how we re playing like arsenal exactly. I strongly believe we will win the world cup appeal

gentiles:
That was the instruction that was given to the players after the outburst by Osimhen in our last match : 'pass the ball to Osimhen' it has reduced the creativity of the team.

Watch Nigerians come for Osimhen for his complaint against Mozambique if Eagles feel to score against Algeria.

Goallll

We didn't miss chances we wasted . I am afraid 😳 anything can happen for second half

Finally Osimen scores via header
