The goalkeepers of the Super Eagles of Nigeria were all involved in a shooting drill against outfield players of the team ahead of today’s friendly game against Ukraine, Owngoalnigeria.com takes a look at how the shot stoppers performed during the session.
Ikechukwu Ezenwa looked a bit rusty but used his experience to sort his feets out most times before making saves from efforts that requires him to dive at full length. His grip was also very solid despite the fact that the Nigeria Professional Football League where he plays is yet to get underway.
The newly installed first come Francis Uzoho didn’t disappoint at all. He was not just agile but also very composed and his height meant he dealt with high balls with the confidence many didn’t expect to see. No doubt he will start in goal later today.
Maduka Okoye has to be the surprise of the session with his cat like reflex drawing applause from his teammates. Very good with the ball at his feet but above that his ability to know when to punch or hold on to the ball caught the eyes. Surely one who will in no distant time challenge for the first choice spot of the team.
