By Niyi Busari 

Super Eagles were held to a 2-2 draw by Jordan in their second international friendly on Tuesday, March 31, in Antalya, Turkey, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The result follows Nigeria’s 2-1 victory over Iran just four days earlier, as head coach Eric Chelle continues to assess his squad ahead of upcoming competitive fixtures.

Despite flashes of attacking quality, the Super Eagles delivered a mixed performance against Jordan, with several players impressing while others struggled to make a significant impact.

Player Ratings

Francis Uzoho – 6/10

Drafted into the starting lineup after Maduka Okoye withdrew due to injury, Uzoho had a decent outing but was substituted after conceding once.

Bright Osayi-Samuel – 6/10

Solid defensively and provided useful support going forward, maintaining balance on the flank.

Zaidu Sanusi – 6/10

Stepped in following Bruno Onyemaechi’s absence and delivered a steady, if unspectacular, performance.

Ighor Ogbu – 6.5/10

Impressive at the heart of the defence, showing composure and reliability in the absence of Calvin Bassey.

Ademola Lookman – 7/10

A lively presence in attack, consistently threatening in the final third and playing a key role in Nigeria’s second goal.

Frank Onyeka – 6/10

Disciplined in midfield, offering protection to the backline and maintaining positional awareness.

Akor Adams – 7/10

A strong showing in attack, contributing effectively to Nigeria’s offensive play.

Moses Simon – 8/10

Captain for the night, Simon stood out with another goal—his second in as many matches—leading by example with an energetic performance.

Fernandez – 6/10

The debutant showed glimpses of attacking promise but is still adapting to the team.

Raphael Onyedika – 6/10

A composed presence in midfield, contributing to ball distribution and defensive duties.

Yira Sor – 5.5/10

Had a quiet game and struggled to influence proceedings.

Substitutes

Alex Iwobi – 4/10

Introduced in the 59th minute, Iwobi endured a difficult outing and was sent off in stoppage time.

Wilfred Ndidi – 6/10

Came on to stabilize the midfield and provided much-needed defensive cover.

Samuel Chukwueze – 5/10

Found it difficult to make a significant impact after coming on.

Otele – 5/10

Showed energy but lacked end product in the final third.
