ABEL OGWUCHE 7/10
Proved a good partner again for the ever reliable Benjamin Frederick. Made a couple of vital blocks and clearance on the night.

The midfileder clearly showed his class once again. He was close to scoring from a header in the first half.

Formed a good understanding with Daniel Daga in the middle of the park. The AC Milan youngster was replaced by John Joshua in the second half after sustaining an injury.

Samson Lawal didn’t do much in the game. He was replaced by Tochukwu Nnadi after the break.

IBRAHIM MUHAMMED 5/10
He is yet to light up this competition. The versatile forward was replaced by Emmanuel Umeh after the break.

SALIM FAGO 6/10
The forward was largely anonymous until his superb header on 61 minutes.
