https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/m ... match-info
I noticed :
1) Top Sprints against Croatia WERE DEFENSIVE and Ighalo nowhere to be seen
- Idowu (46)
- Shehu (41)
- Moses (34)
2) Iceland Showed importance of SPEED AND SPREAD OUT ATTACK than LONE STRIKER
- Musa (53)
- Iheanacho (42)
- Moses (36)
- Etebo (36)
3) Nigerian Midfield duo shows consistent importance of Ndidi + Etebo for possession
Top possession vs Croatia
- Ndidi (3,625m)
- Etebo (3,518m)
Top possession vs Iceland
- Etebo (4,577m)
- Ndidi (4,360m)
4) Nigeria is practically playing a 3 man central midfield. The difference in the Iceland game was Mikel stayed back to spray passes while Etebo moved more forward.

5) Moses offers greater penetration as a Wing Back than as a Winger but still needs to cross more into the penalty area

- Delivery/solo runs into the attacking third vs Croatia (2/1)
