Five Super Eagles players have reacted following their disappointing goalless draw with Uganda in their last international fixture in 2018.

With the three-time African champions already through to next summer's 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, the friendly served as preparations for the tournament in Cameroon.

The friendly provided Rohr a chance to test fresh legs, with the German handing full debuts to Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze; the previously injured Moses Simon was a second half substitute while Semi Ajayi was paired in central defense with John Ogu in the first half.

Ogu was in action for 88 minutes, Iwobi subbed out with 15 minutes remaining, Troost-Ekong came on at half time, Idowu put in a full shift and Simon made his first Super Eagles appearance in eight months after replacing Ahmed Musa on 70 minutes.

Here's how they reacted after the friendly :

Bryan Idowu : ''Happy to play my first game in Nigeria! Thank you Asaba👏🏾🇳🇬''

Alex Iwobi : ''Always An Honour 🇳🇬''.

John Ogu : ''Proud of the team. Looking forward . 🇳🇬🇳🇬''.

Moses Simon : ''🇳🇬🦅''.

Troost-Ekong : ''Thank you Asaba! 🇳🇬🦅''.
