I wouldn’t say Nigeria didn’t show Rwandans that they’re the better side or the giants of Africa (which in recent times is only in name) but it was an exceptional performance by the Rwandan goal keeper that kept the goal sheet minimal. The Brilliance of Fiacre Ntwari who always turns into a prime Buffon each time he faces Nigeria and this is a goalkeeper who doesn’t even start for his club Kaizer Chiefs. Though our boys should have done more, even Lookman there was a rebound he should have buried but it was a double save for Fiacre Ntwari. If not for the goalkeeper Nigeria should have had atleast 3 goals but we just have to focus on beating South Africa, no matter what we’re still bigger than them.

You know why I sound so doubtful of Nigeria being able to deal with South Africa? Because I see how they struggle against teams they should naturally beat easily. To be honest, small teams are having the morale to challenge Nigeria because they've got the confidence that they can stand a chance.
In Lookman's case, permit me to say he was the only player that played the game like he'd do at his club side. All I'm saying is that this game against SA won't just be about bragging rights alone but a chance for Nigeria to close the gap the group leaders have over them.

Nice analysis by the way, bruh.

Yeah the game against South Africa is a must win for us but isn’t the same for them, they’ll try to frustrate our efforts and now there’s no Osimhen who always comes through for us in difficult matches, I just wish the other guys can step up cos we have the team and players to win South Africa any day not downgrading the Bafana Bafana team who has been in fine form and topping the table.
I was confident we were going to win when we had Osimhen, now I’m not too sure anymore though we have better stats above them on Head to Head and Nigerian Super Eagles tend to play better when facing a strong opponent, the last time South Africa won us was 2017.
