Five Things We Learned From Nigeria's Goalless Draw Against Zimbabwe

The Villarreal youngster was arguably the best player in the opening half of the game as he utilized his wonderful dribbling skills to get past his markers on many occasions.

However, the winger might need to avoid playing too much to the gallery to avoid being injured in Egypt because he's certainly going to the much-anticipated tournament.

Paul Onuachu Failed To Grab His Opportunity

Many Super Eagles supporters were expecting so much from Paul Onuachu before the encounter but the FC Midtjylland man didn't live up to expectations.

He didn't really make so much impact throughout the time he spent on the pitch before being replaced with Victor Osimhen.  Hopefully, his display won't affect his chances of being in the squad to Egypt.

Alex Iwobi Put Up Another Below-par Display

Alex Iwobi was far from impressive at the middle of the pitch yet again and his recent performances must be a source of concern for Gernot Rohr heading to Egypt. Though the Arsenal winger showed some glimpse of brilliance, he did not live up to his billing.

Mikel Obi Showed Class But He Can Do Better

Mikel Obi's return to the team was a welcome development as he was one of the busiest players on the pitch. The former Chelsea star exudes confidence whenever the ball was on his feet but he can actually do better than what we saw.

Meanwhile, the fact that he's returning to the team for the first time in a year somewhat affected his chemistry with his fellow midfielders.

Leon Balogun Looks Sharp Despite Lack Of Game-time

Leon Balogun showed no sign of being match rusty against the Zimbabweans as he was active throughout the game.

Many soccer-loving Nigerians were concerned about his lack of regular game-time during the recently concluded season believing it will affect his fitness level in Egypt.

Luckily, he didn't show any sign of being tired despite going the distance and it is a good news for the fans and Gernot Rohr.
