FRANCIS UZOHO 7/10

The Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper made three vital saves in the first half. He was not at fault for the two goals conceded by his side.

CHIDOZIE AWAZIEM 6/10

Started as part of a back three, but moved to right-back after the break. Awaziem put up a strong performance in the game.

LEON BALOGUN 6/10
Unlucky to score an own goal in the second half. Did well against a strong Mexican attack.

SEMI AJAYI 6/10
Not really at his best in the first half, but recovered well after the break. Showed he could hold his own against a strong side.

CALVIN BASSEY 8/10
What a performance from the Rangers man. He was at his marauding best in the game and set up Cyriel Dessers for Nigeria’s only goal.

INNOCENT BONKE 4/10

Struggled to cope with the pace of the Mexicans and was duly replaced after the break by Sani Faisal.

JOE ARIBO 7/10

Struggled a bit in the first half, but improved after the break. His combination with Alex Iwobi turned things around for the Super Eagles in the second half.

ALEX IWOBI 8/10

The Everton man was lively all through the game. It was one of his best games for the Super Eagles.

MOSES SIMON 6/10

Came alive after he was moved to an attacking role in the second half.

TEREM MOFFI 6/10
A lively display from the Lorient forward. Unlucky not to get a goal before his substitution.

Scored Nigeria’s only goal of the game. Showed he can excel at the international level.
