Defenders
Rofiat Imuran: She played in her natural position for the first time and she was rock solid. 8/10
Comfort Folorunsho: She didn't have much to do, was sloppy for a moment in the second half but luckily, she could made amends. 6.5/10
Shukurat Oladipo: She didn't have much to do as against the Germans. Besides a moment of sloppiness in the second half, she was good. 6.5/10

Olushola Shobowale: It was a quiet outing for the forward who was handed her first start. 5.5/10
