Not much was seen from her offensively before she was brought off. 5.5\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nOsinachi Ohale: The veteran centre-back matched the physicality of the Indomitable Lionesses and she was calm in doing so, playing a vital role in the Super Falcons keeping a clean sheet. 8\/10<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oluwtosin Demehin:Like Ohale, she made sure her feathers weren&#8217;t ruffled and dealt well with the physicality of the Cameroonians&#8217; attackers. 7.5\/10<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ashleigh Plumptre: She returned to the side after a long hiatus and didn&#8217;t look as if she ever left. Started the game at left back but finished on the opposite flank, showing her dexterous physicality. 7.5\/10<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Midfielders and strikers<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nHalimatu Ayinde: Failed to impose herself on the game and was unsurprisingly taken off at the start of the second half. 5.5\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nDeborah Abiodun: She started the game slowly but grew into it and contributed to the Super Falcons regaining control of the game in the second half. 6.5\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nChristy Ucheibe: \u00a0Also didn&#8217;t play well in the first half but helped the record African champions threaten the Cameroonian defense later on in the game. 6.5\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nToni Payne: Fumbled a chance to put Oshoala on goal in the first half and was surprisingly left on the pitch for far too long. 5\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAsisat Oshoala: Had a quiet game and failed to convert the Super Falcons&#8217; best chance of the game. 4.5\/10<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rasheedat Ajibade: The skipper also had a poor game offensively but worked her socks off defensively. 6\/10<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>The substitutes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nJennifer Echegini: She was the most impactful substitute and could have gotten a goal as a reward for her efforts. The Cameroonians couldn&#8217;t lay a hand on her. 8\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nEsther Okoronkwo: Contributed to Nigeria retaining control of the game in the second half but wasn&#8217;t as imposing as Echegini. 6.5\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nRinsola Babajide: The former Liverpool forward was blunt when she came on and didn&#8217;t make a case for herself to start the second leg. 4\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nRofiat Imuran: Not much was seen from the young left-back when she came on, was lucky to have been bailed out after she got dribbled past easily by one of the Cameroon forwards. \u00a04\/10<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nIfeoma Onumonu: Should have been brought on earlier, and spent very little time on the field to make an impact.N\/A<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Abdulkareem Abdulhamid<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Copyright ANS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAll rights reserved.
