Super Eagles player ratings: Simon the best, Onyeka energetic, Fernandez delivers, Iwobi Impulsive

Allnigeriasoccer.com brings you the player ratings for the Super Eagles following their 2-2 draw against Jordan in Antalya, Turkey, on Tuesday.

The starters

Goalkeeper

Francis Uzoho (5/10): Uzoho will feel he could have done better with Jordan’s first-half opener, failing to get a strong enough hand to keep it out.

Defenders

Bright Osayi-Samuel (6/10): The Birmingham City full-back provided the assist for Fernández's goal.

Emmanuel Fernandez (8/10): A superb full debut from the Rangers defender, who delivered a commanding display at the back and capped it with his first international goal.

Igoh Ogbu (6/10): Ogbu had a shaky start but settled into the game well, putting in a much stronger showing after the break.

Zaidu Sanusi (5.5/10): The full-back lost his footing and was unable to recover in the build-up to Jordan's second-half equaliser.

Midfielders and forwards 

Frank Onyeka (6/10): The Coventry City midfielder brought his usual energy and tenacity to the middle of the park.

Raphael Onyedika (6.5/10): Calm and assured in possession, Onyedika controlled the tempo well but was unfortunate to see his goal ruled out.

Ademola Lookman (7/10): Lookman was lively in the opening half and played a key role in the buildup to Nigeria's equaliser.

Yira Sor (5/10): A quiet outing for Sor, who struggled to make an impact and was substituted in the second half.

Moses Simon (8.5/10): Another impressive display from the Paris FC winger, who grabbed Nigeria's first goal and remained a constant threat.

 Akor Adams (5.5/10): The Sevilla forward struggled to hit his usual standards and couldn’t find the back of the net in the absence of Osimhen.

The substitutes

Adebayo Adeleye (5/10): Came on for Uzoho in the second half but had little chance of preventing the equaliser.

Wilfred Ndidi (5.5/10): The Besiktas midfielder failed to assert himself or help Nigeria maintain control in midfield.

Alex Iwobi (4/10): The Fulham man will be disappointed after picking up a red card late in the game due to poor decision-making.

Samuel Chukwueze (5/10): Introduced in the closing stages for Moses Simon, with limited time to make an impact.

Philip Otele (N/A): Made his debut for Nigeria after replacing Frank Onyeka in the final minutes, but had little opportunity to influence the game.
