Super Eagles Player Ratings Vs Poland

A penalty goal from Victor Moses was just enough for the Super Eagles to see off Poland in their friendly encounter at the Stadion Mjejski in Wraclow on Friday evening. But how did every one of the Eagles fare?

Goalkeeper
Francis Uzoho: Made a hoax of a cross which nearly allowed Krychowiak to prod over the line but for Balogun's clearance. Looked tensive in stretches though his point blank save to deny Lewandowski was phenomenal. 8/10

Defenders
Shehu Abdullahi: Pushed up from right and looked to instigate attack. Came off for
Tyronne Ebuehi after some discomfort. 7/10

William Troost-Ekong: Marshalled the backline with his sturdy challenges and always put his body on the line. 8/10

Leon Balogun: Failed to track down Robert Lewandowski who struck the woodwork in the opening stages before making a crucial goal line clearance. A satisfactory performance though. 8/10

Brian Idowu: Did his fair share of defensive contribution but offered very little going forward. 7/10

Midfielders
Wilfred Ndidi: Was full of life in the midfield battle though passing was erratic. 7/10

Joel Obi: Added a physical edge to his game and always looked to connect with the attackers. 7/10

Alex Iwobi: Showed flashes of brilliance and tricky footwork down the left flank but final balls came to nothing. Came off in the second half for Ahmed Musa. 7/10

Victor Moses: Went on a few mazy runs but failed to break down a resilient Polish defence. Picked himself to convert from the spot after he was felled in the area. 8/10

Attackers
Kelechi Iheanacho: Was largely kept quiet and drifted backward to pick up stray balls. Was replaced by John Ogu in the closing stages. 6/10

Odion Ighalo: Always looked to get in behind Kalil Glik and Kaminski and held up the ball on occasions. 7/10

Substitutes
Ahmed Musa: Went on his trademark runs during his short time on the pitch though nothing spectacular was carved out. 5/10

Ogenyi Onazi: Helped shore up middle after coming on with keeping passing simple. 5/10

Kenneth Omeruo: Brought on to help curtail the Poland attack. 5/10

Tyronne Ebuehi: Helped the defence to hold onto their slender advantage though had very little to do.

John Ogu: Merely added fresh legs after coming on.

Moses Simon: Spent very little time on the pitch to be scrutinized.
