Shehu Abdullahi: The former Kano Pillars put in a good show. 5.5/10
Ola Aina: He tried his best and attacked when needed. 5.5/10
Leon Balogun: The Mainz defender led the defence very well. 6/10
Chidozie Awaziem: Awaziem went astray at some stage in the first half but put in a great shift in the second period. 6/10
William Troost Ekong: The former Gent star wasn't overshadowed by the huge occasion. 6.5/10

John Ogu: Another box to box performance. 6/10
John Obi Mikel: The Super Eagles skipper linked up well with his teammates when needed. 6/10

Alex Iwobi: Wow! A brace to cap a Grade A friendly. One can't ask for more. The Arsenal youngster tormented the opposition with his tricks. 9/10

Brian Idowu: What a debut! A goal and solid performance. 7/10
Tyronne Ebuehi: The Dutch based defender kept an high line when he came on. 6/10
