The senior national team started their campaign at the ongoing Unity Cup on a sound note beating Zimbabwe 2-0 to book a place in the final of the friendly tournament, which is taking place in London.
Head coach of the Nigerian team Eric Chelle gave debut to eight players in match winner Femi Azeez, left full back Kenneth Igboke, right full back Chibueze Oputa, goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo and the trio of substitute Rafiu Durosinmi, Owen Oseni, Tosin Oyedokun and Adeoye Aderemi.
OwnGoalNigeria.com rates the performance of the players picked from teams in the Nigeria Premier Football League in the win.
Kenneth Igboke – He came out top. Showed remarkable composure on the ball and played a huge role in the move leading to both goals, especially the second goal. A debut to remember for the Enugu Rangers left back.
Chibueze Oputa – Uncomfortable when he is under pressure and didn’t strike any sort of understanding with Chibuike Nwaiwu on the right side of the defence. He was however solid in tackles and took up positions high up to pitch to create overloads.
Tosin Oyedokun – Tried a speculative effort from range that tells a lot about his confidence. Got into the mix a lot quicker and easier than other substitutes.
Adeoye Aderemi – He didn’t get involved enough to warrant a rating.
