Official : Awoniyi And Ezeh Start As Alhassan Ibrahim Drops To The Bench Against Congo

It is now known the eleven Flying Eagles players that will step onto the Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium pitch this evening when Nigeria trade tackles with Congo.

Coach Manu Garba has decided not change a winning team, and will start the game against Congo with the same set of players that were on parade against Senegal.

It means Enaholo will be in between the pipes, and he will be protected by Musa Mohammed, Mustapha Abdullahi, Izuchukwu Omego and Bello Zaharadeen.

Ifeanyi, Idowu, Matthew and Bulbwa will play their second game in the tournament, assuming they don’t pick up a last - minute injury during the warmup.

Taiwo Awoniyi and Chidera Ezeh will continue their partnership in attack.
