Brazil Struggles To Pull A Draw With The Super Eagles

One of the best performances I have seen from the Super Eagles in recent time. We tactically played very well in the first half but went into sleeping mode in the second half. We played as talented and experienced side and we stuck to our task very well which made it hard for Brazilian side to beat us

A win was possible for the Eagles in the game as because the attack was bright, the was also defence solid just that there was a loophole in the midfield field. We lack creative and technical midfielders which was very obvious in the game.
Kudos to Joe Aribo for scoring the goal and also to Awanzie for a solid defending

I didn't watch the match but the outcome was expected it was either we squeezed a draw or we lost, however it was a good performance
I watched the match i really like the way the nigerian players played it shows they were well organized and there was a team work tho at a point in the second half the brazilian were playing fast game forcing them open up the defence so they can penetrate but it worked for them and they score a goal @48 min. Nice one to the eagles because they were able to make it a draw.
In general, the super eagles played a great game. Going into the game, we were definitely the underdogs but somehow, we were able to reduce brazil's influence.
In the first 15 minutes, the brazillians played with so much pressure and that was joyful to watch, seeing the way our boys contained such high pressures, playing against one of the world's best national team, and also keeping them at bay from doing damages which they were capable of.
Although it could have been worse for super eagles but our organization (not perfect yet) was good. Players who stood out in this game were the defenders, our lone scorer, aribo and our goalie Uzoho, he played very well by stopping potential goals. Unfortunately he picked up an injury, hoping he comes back stronger.
One of the worst players in my own opinion was Alex Iwobi. Dude needs to step up and be creative. Our midfield was indeed toothless in this game. Even though lots of improvements are to be made, on a mental perspective, this game/result is a huge boost to the super eagles of Nigeria.
Nigeria team were just fortunate to get that draw yesterday losing the ball to Brazil easily and failing to win the ball back on time.
