Now for the final! Nwabali did well on the penalties.
If we were more clinical this game for end 3-1 at best. Nigeria were the better team and gave SA every chance to make things interesting. We also were playing to our strengths so ball possession was not high on our priority list.
There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.

NWABALI Saves NIGERIA.....Spectacular performance!!
Stanley Nwabli, invited at the last moment to rescue Nigeria at the AFCON, after Nigerian managers repeatedly turned their attention to Europe, became the man to lift Nigeria into an African Cup of Nations championship game following a decade of despair.
But it must be stated that Nigeria made strategic penalty kick decisions. Three of Nigeria's late substitutions came in for penalty kick intentions and all three converted -- Moffi, Iheanacho, and Omeruo. Of the three, both Moffi and Iheanacho, had not played a minute in this tournament and did not play a minute of the regulation 90 minutes today!

Re: NWABALI Saves NIGERIA.....Spectacular performance!!
Chief, that was a harsh Osayi-Samuel rating. He had a so so first half but he really came into his own in the second. One of the best on the pitch in the 2nd

Re: Nwabali
Go watch the match again. South Africa were better only in the first half. Nigeria were clearly the better team from second half onwards and had chances to win. Granted South Africa had some chances just after equalizing.sarkin doya wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 9:34 pm South Africa were the better team today - the Super Eagles seemed to have less energy than in the last few games .... but in the end, the Super Eagles deserved the win.

Re: Nwabali
Possession is not a good indicator of which team was better because the team leading usually drops back to defend their lead, hence allowing the opposition more time on the ball. We were leading right up to the 84th minute when that penalty drama happened. Shots on target are a better indicator, and we had slightly better.sarkin doya wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 9:34 pm South Africa were the better team today - the Super Eagles seemed to have less energy than in the last few games .... but in the end, the Super Eagles deserved the win.

We were comfortably coasting to a win before an unnecessary penalty was conceded.

Classy move by Nwabali’s South African club Chippa United to congratulate him on his performance and Nigeria’s victory against South Africa.

You are 87. Slow Toad Tobi only pimp to 40 and below.
As for Nwabali, Uniport girls don dey line up for him papa house for Omoku since the quarter finals. Not because of his heroics in the tournament, but because of the dollars he is expected to get after the tournament. So Pimp Tobi, you have major competition on your hand.

The South African Premier Soccer League are the biggest winners in this tournament. The quality of the league was on full display in this tournament.

Re: Nwabali
How would you rate Nwabali, all said and done?
I was a little less impressed by his performance in the final, but that is simply compared to his previous outings.
One area I’d like him to improve on is his actual ball handling.
There were two incidents in the final when he didn’t do himself any favours by dropping the ball when not under pressure. He recovered the ball easily but goalkeeping standards are so high that he can’t afford to be doing that too often especially in front of a global audience.
Overall he had a good game and great tournament and I believe Williams just pipped him to the post as ‘Keeper of the Tournament’ probably from his exploits in the third place game.
Coming from Ground Zero with Uzoho, l think we are just simply grateful to have someone decent manning the posts again.

Re: Nwabali
He needs to work and parrying shots away from danger. That is the main area he needs to work on.
There were 2 incidents in the final where he parried the ball into very dangerous positions but we were not punished.
Either way he was the revelation of this tournament for us.
