Super Eagles Player Ratings : Iwobi Solid, Ndidi Immense, Ogu Calm, Moses Above Average, Shehu PoorA 25th minute effort from Tomas Kalas was all Czech Republic needed to edge Nigeria 1-0 in their last World Cup warm up game at the Rudolf-Tonn-Stadion on Wednesday.

Allnigeriasoccer.com rounds up the performances of every one of Gernot Rohr's men on show thus,

The Starters

Francis Uzoho: Thwarted the Czech attack whenever he had to with well executed saves. Fumbled a soft header which Tomas Kalas wasted little time in turning home. (7/10)

Leon Balogun: Did a great deal of work building up play from defense. Aerially, he was as well imposing and broke up play was otherwise substantial. (7/10)

William Troost-Ekong: Kept the Czech attack at bay with his nerveless defending and covered well for any lapses. (6.5/10)

John Ogu: Came close to scoring with a header in the first half, noticeably grew into the game in the second half. (7/10)

Abdullahi Shehu: Conjured up little from the far right and proved little attacking option. Kept passes simple. (5/10)

Brian Idowu: Put in series of untimely challenges and crosses were far from accurate. (5.5/10)

Wilfred Ndidi: The returnee midfielder performed admirably in his midfield duties and equally forced some shots which were saved. (7.5/10)

Mikel Obi: Pulled the strings whenever he ventured forward. Tried out a number of cleverly hooked passes to find his attackers though most led to little. (6.5/10)

Victor Moses: Weaved his usually trickery a couple of times and always looked to take on the Czech defence. Came inches away from scoring in the first half but for Vaclik's stop.(6.5/10)

Alex Iwobi: Went on rampage a number of times, combining in tandem with Moses though he was well checked by the opposition.(7.5/10)

Odion Ighalo: Terribly stifled of service and was a passenger for most part of the game. (6/10)

The Substitutes

Simeon Nwankwo: Added fresh legs upfront as the team chased an equalizer. Found little service. (5/10)

Elderson Echiejile: Helped push back the opposition and offered little significant. (5/10)

Tyronne Ebuehi: Brought on his athleticism and made a lot of defense-splitting sprints down the right. (6/10)

Ahmed Musa: Had very little time to assert any influence on the game.

Kelechi Iheanacho: Came on as one of the late changes and couldn't help get the equalizer.
