AFCON 2027Q: How Dominant Super Eagles Rated In Win Over Tanzania

The Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated Tanzania 3-1 in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday three encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Friday night. Completesports.com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU appraises the performance of the players in the Group L encounter

Stanley Nwabali 6/10

The Chippa United goalkeeper performed well on the few occasions he was called into action by the Tanzanians. His ball distribution was particularly impressive.

Abdullahi Bewene 6/10

Bewene impressed on his competitive debut for the Super Eagles. He showed great attacking intent with his forward runs while also remaining solid and disciplined defensively.

Calvin Bassey 6/10

The Fulham defender was not quite at his usual best, but he still put in a committed shift and did his part to help the Super Eagles secure all three points.

Benjamin Fredrick 6/10

Handed the starting spot ahead of the dependable and consistent Semi Ajayi, he did more than enough to justify the selection with an impressive performance.

Ola Aina 6/10

Aina was deployed at left-back and endured a slow start to the game, but he grew into the contest and came alive in the second half, putting in a much-improved performance.

Wilfred Ndidi 6/10

The captain produced a superb assist for Tolu Arokodare’s second goal, capping off an excellent individual performance.

Tochukwu Nnadi 4/10

The Marseille man was a surprise inclusion in the starting XI but struggled to make an impact. After an underwhelming first-half display, he was withdrawn at the break and replaced by Tolu Arokodare.
