AFCON 2027Q: How Super Eagles Rated In Disappointing Defeat To Guinea-Bissau

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.

Stanley Nwabali 4/10

Not the best performance from the Chippa United goalkeeper. He looked shaky for most of the game and never really seemed settled.

Bright Osayi-Samuel 4/10

The right-back was at fault for Guinea-Bissau’s second goal. It was a difficult outing for the Birmingham City defender.

Semi Ajayi 4/10

Ajayi struggled against Guinea-Bissau’s pacy forwards. It was not one of his best outings for the Super Eagles.

Calvin Bassey 7/10

Gave his all on the pitch. The Fulham defender was one of the few Nigerian players who impressed in the game.

Bruno Onyemeachi 4/10

Another defender who struggled to make an impact in the game. It was arguably Onyemaechi’s worst outing for the Super Eagles.

Wilfred Ndidi 4/10

The captain struggled to impose himself in the middle of the park. He was replaced by Raphael Onyedika 14 minutes from time.

Frank Onyeka 3/10

The Brentford midfielder was replaced by Moses Usor after the break. It was not the best outing for Onyeka.

Alex Iwobi 7/10

Alongside Calvin Bassey, Iwobi was one of the two Super Eagles players who impressed on the night.

Ademola Lookman 4/10

Lookman struggled to make an impact for the second consecutive game. He was replaced by Tolu Arokodare in the 68th minute.

Akor Adams 3/10

A below-par outing from the Venezia striker, who was one of the Super Eagles’ least effective performers on the night.

Taiwo Awoniyi 3/10

He struggled to make an impact in the first half and was replaced by Moses Simon at the break.

Substitutes

Moses Simon 4/10

Injected pace into the Super Eagles’ attack after coming on, but faded as the game progressed.

Moses Usor 4/10

Gave his all but couldn’t find a way through Guinea-Bissau’s stubborn defence.

Tolu Arokodare 3/10

The Ajax striker couldn’t change the course of the game in Nigeria’s favour after replacing Ademola Lookman.

George Ilenikhena 2/10

He missed a chance to score for Nigeria 10 minutes from time. It was not the best cameo from the striker.

Raphael Onyedika 2/10

He replaced captain Wilfred Ndidi but struggled to make an impact after coming on.
