How Flying Eagles Rated In Slim Win Against Dominican Republic

Completesports.com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU rates Flying Eagles players’ performance following Sunday night’s 2-1 victory against Dominican Republic in their opening game at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup…

CHIJIOKE ANIAGBOSO 7/10
The goalkeeper made a superb save to deny Dominican Republic an equaliser in the second half, otherwise he was virtually on holiday for most part of the game.

DANIEL BAMEYI 7/10
The captain caused problems for the opponent with his long throw-ins. He did a good job in the right-back position.

BENJAMIN FREDERICK 7/10
Unlucky to concede the penalty that led to Dominican Republic’s only goal of the game. It was a good showing from the centre-back.

ABEL OGWUCHE 7/10
Solid as usual. The Trelleborgs FF of Sweden star gave a good account of himself in the game.

JONATHAN AGBALAKA 6/10
Solid defensively but didn’t too much in attack especially in the second half.

DANIEL DAGA 7/10
Exhibited his skills especially in the first half. Good performance from the midfileder.

TOCHUKWU NADI 7/10
Not a bad performance from the midfileder on his first competitive appearance for the Flying Eagles.

SAMSON LAWAL 7/10
Capped a good performance with the winning goal 20 minutes from time.

IBRAHIM MUHAMMED 6/10
The versatile forward didn’t really lived up to expectation in the game. He was subbed off in the second half.

JUDE SUNDAY 8/10
The talented winger was unlucky not to get a goal in the game. He was clearly Nigeria’s best performer of the day.

SALIM FAGO 6/10
The forward didn’t really do much in the game before he was substituted.

SUBSTITUTES

UMEH EMMANUEL 4/10
Took the place of Salim Fago early in the second half.

VICTOR ELETU 5/10
Showed glimpses of his best after replacing match winner Samson Lawal on 71 minutes.

HALIRU SARKI 5/10
Unlucky not to get a goal after his introduction in the second half.
