Daniel is a good goalie & I think he was with Rangers. The problem was he became a sub when he got back. He may have even been no. 3 as there was a foreigner & another guy (had a Benue name like Idoko or something) manning the posts in the games I saw for Rangers earlier in the season.
Now that DSTV has fraudulently taken the NPFL off air, we can't even track anybody at home anymore.
I'm just going to have to start going to Agege Stadium at this rate.
Olurunleke did not feature in that game. Rather it was Yusuf Mohammed that came in for the sparkling Emmanuel Daniel.

Why are asking for help?
If you are so sure that you are right that you rushed to make sure that a so called Opaks yarner would not be let off the hook, rather than cross-checking your facts, then a YouTube video should not be confusing you. Or could it be that you actually have no clue what you are talking about?
Ewu Kafanchan!
See did man!
At least, I will admit when I'm not so sure.
Recollecting from the time the game was played, I saw a tall 'yellow' youth level keeper replace Daniel, and it looked like Olorunleke, especially since he was in the mix for youth teams at the time. I assumed to Portuguese commentator was making a mistake.
I could not find the complete team list for the team we put out for the friendly. Lots of reports with the name of some of the players that featured, but none with the complete team list.
Anyway, thanks for the correction.

Former Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper Dele Aiyenugba could be in line for a shock recall to the senior national team of Nigeria, owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Present first choice of the senior national team of Nigeria Carl Ikeme might be forced into a premature retirement as he has been diagnosed to be having acute Leukaemia, which has further deepens the goalkeeper crisis rocking the national team of Nigeria.
Coach Gernot Rohr used Daniel Akpeyi in the absence of Ikeme, but the Chippa United man failed to impress in the Eagles last game against South Africa which ended 0-2 in favour of Bafana Bafana in Uyo in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers.
Unsatisfied with Akpeyi’s display in the game, the coach is looking for experienced shot stopper ahead of Nigeria’s World Cup 2018 qualifiers back to back game against Cameroon in August and September, as he believes Dele Alampasu isn’t ready yet for a game of that magnitude.

It's pretty evident now that we have a serious goalkeeping crisis.
To think that a few months ago some people were yarning serious opaks, saying that we were 'covered' in that department.

No one could have foreseen the unfortunate circumstances regarding Ikeme. In any case one has to question the inability of a whole country like Nigeria been unable to develop 3 or 4 decent goalkeepers.
Players are entitled to retie ans remain retired. It is up to the institutions to be forward thinking.

Shorunmu was the definite starter, but broke his hand a few weeks to the WC. He was starting even when Dosu was available. I believe Shorunmu started even for WCQ that brought them all to Lagos when Dosu had the car accident after the match.The YeyeMan wrote:Possibly though perhaps not.The Eagle wrote:Am I the only one who thinks we could/would have gone further at the 1998 World Cup, and possibly won the 2000 Nations Cup final, if the goalkeepers were different?
We lost Joseph Dosu to a career-ending injury just a year or so before France 1998; and Bora tried Shorunmu and Baruwa in friendlies before WC98 before settling on Rufai. Shorunmu may have been the better option but didn't even make the squad. Nigeria didn't have any decent GK alternatives at the time. Same with CAN 2000.
That is what I mean. I wasn't suggesting using a different "existing" goalkeeper, but rather that we did not have any goalkeeper of a certain quality, and my suggestion is that if we had had one, some of our results may have turned out differently. I am sure you would agree with me that we've had matches where Enyeama's shot-stopping kept us competitive in a match or preserved a vital result.The YeyeMan wrote:Possibly though perhaps not.The Eagle wrote:Am I the only one who thinks we could/would have gone further at the 1998 World Cup, and possibly won the 2000 Nations Cup final, if the goalkeepers were different?

There is a stronger argument to be made for possibly beating Cameroun in 2000 with a better keeper than Sorunmu. We probably would also have needed a striking pair more "prolific" than Kanu and Ndukwe, though we had Aghahowa on the bench, and he had shown against Senegal the scoring form that would make him our most consistent finisher in the next 3-4 years.
The argument is weaker for 1998, because our if-you-score-15-we-will-not-score-16 "defence" would have put any keeper under too much pressure. Still, Rufai gave up some "soft" goals.
Baruwa was USELESS beyond belief...truetalk wrote:Baruwa was a better option than Rufai at the time.

The was little Shorunmu could have done at CAN 2000 with a defense starring Furo Iyenemi and Okpara/Okunowo as starters...The Eagle wrote:That is what I mean.

He was OK as the 3rd option behind Ike & Dosu, and would have been a better option than the 98 version of Rufai.Gotti wrote:Baruwa was USELESS beyond belief...truetalk wrote:Baruwa was a better option than Rufai at the time.
