2dramasports.com Match Notes & Concerns about the Benin versus Nigeria encounter
- Coach Shaibu Amodu's tactics and failing to fix Super Eagles midfied
- Rabiu Ibrahim needs to called up for National duty
- Coach Shaibu needs to get an offensive midfielder ASAP -Now-Haba
- Shaibu Amodu needs to draft under 20 and NPL Players into the Super Eagles
- Super Eagles needs a set piece taker on free kicks
- Benin had two attempts which hit the bar, players no closing down allowing room for long distance ball shooting
- Osaze return from injury, back to the starting line --gave the Eagles hustle
- Shittu's & Apam both were great on defense
