The Super Eagles suffered a shock 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday two encounter at the September 24 Stadium in Bissau on Tuesday night. Completesports.com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU rates the performances of the Super Eagles players in the Group L encounter. Not the best performance from the Chippa United goalkeeper. He looked shaky for most of the game and never really seemed settled.
The right-back was at fault for Guinea-Bissau’s second goal. It was a difficult outing for the Birmingham City defender. Ajayi struggled against Guinea-Bissau’s pacy forwards. It was not one of his best outings for the Super Eagles. Gave his all on the pitch. The Fulham defender was one of the few Nigerian players who impressed in the game. Another defender who struggled to make an impact in the game.
It was arguably Onyemaechi’s worst outing for the Super Eagles. The captain struggled to impose himself in the middle of the park. He was replaced by Raphael Onyedika 14 minutes from time. The Brentford midfielder was replaced by Moses Usor after the break. It was not the best outing for Onyeka. Alongside Calvin Bassey, Iwobi was one of the two Super Eagles players who impressed on the night.
Lookman struggled to make an impact for the second consecutive game. He was replaced by Tolu Arokodare in the 68th minute. A below-par outing from the Venezia striker, who was one of the Super Eagles’ least effective performers on the night. He struggled to make an impact in the first half and was replaced by Moses Simon at the break.
Injected pace into the Super Eagles’ attack after coming on, but faded as the game progressed.
