Change in formation for the Super Eagles18:12, Jonathan Gorrie48:00 - Looks to be a 4-2-3-1 now with Etebo alongside Aribo in the pivot. Pitch has been watered18:10, Jonathan Gorrie46:00 - The pitch is a real mess. At half-time, the sprinklers have been out in an attempt to improve things, with the away side starting the brightest. Back underway! 18:09, Jonathan GorrieBack undereway! Nigeria kick-offBack out on the field! 18:06, Jonathan GorrieThings getting underway here. Hopefully the second-half lives up to the first! Brilliant match so far17:54, Jonathan GorrieGiven Sierra Leone’s performance so far, you’d hardly bet against them getting a second... HT: Nigeria 2-1 Sierra Leone17:50, Jonathan GorrieIwobi and Osimhen strike back after the away side take a shock lead. Nigeria’s quality the difference17:48, Jonathan Gorrie42:00 - Really good from Sierra Leone but, sometimes, effort is not enough.
There’s been little concern of that with the away side pushing forward, seemingly taking heart from Nigeria’s early defensive fraility. CHANCE FOR NIGERIA17:23, Jonathan Gorrie19:00 - Simon goes close with a header at the back post but a brilliant save keeps Nigiera out! No luck for Osimhen so far17:22, Jonathan Gorrie18:00 - Not much luck for the Napoli star at the moment, despite how much Nigeria are looking for him with long balls.
Indeed, the Super Eagles hardly looked convincing on a pitch in terrible condition. The slick attacking play that saw them heralded as early favourites in the early part of the AFCON tournament in January was not at all evident, with the big-name attackers failing to find eachother. Still, Iwobi calmly stroked one home to restore parity before Osimhen powered in what proved to be a winner five minutes before half-time after good work from Moses Simon. Eventually, the Super Eagles got there. See how all of the action unfolded with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below...
