The magic happens at minute 11:39 but start watching from 11:32 to see the full move that led to the goal.

I agree that was a beautiful sequence.

A bit of hyperbole here. It was an OK assist

Exactly! For example a similar case was Bright Osayi at Afcon, he had two players at each side completely unmarked but for some dumb reason decided to go solo and lost the ball.
Re: That layoff by Iwobi to Lookman for the 2nd goal
Thank you.
The build up is more impressive. The long pass from Onyeka, the clever control and pass to Iwobi and the finish from Lookman was good.

That goal na joga bonito. The pass sequence started from Nwabili. I don't think I have seen that from Nigeria in the last 5 years or more.

Re: That layoff by Iwobi to Lookman for the 2nd goal
Yup. I was expecting to see something spectacular, but it was just an ordinary pass to an unmarked player that anyone at that level should be able to make.
This is from the same forumer who made a thread belittling the contributions of our most influential player at the recent AFCON - Osimhen.

And yes, a supposedly word class striker bagging an impressive haul of 1 goal in 7 games in a major tournament for his country ... is not OK. It is not. Full stop.

So what would you say about Simon Mosesβs decision to pick out Lookman who then scored against Cameroon?Scipio Africanus wrote: βSat Mar 23, 2024 12:17 am That was top shelf soccer IQ! Haven't seen that kind of decision making from an SE player in the box for a long time!

Re: That layoff by Iwobi to Lookman for the 2nd goal
Oga you sure say you watch dat mash? The assists for Lookman's goals against Cameroon came from Osimhen and Bassey, and both assists came from outside the box.Lolly wrote: βSat Mar 23, 2024 1:11 pmSo what would you say about Simon Mosesβs decision to pick out Lookman who then scored against Cameroon?Scipio Africanus wrote: βSat Mar 23, 2024 12:17 am That was top shelf soccer IQ!

You are confusing it with the Angola game, and yes Simon's pass to Lookman was inside the box, but the key difference is that Simon, commendable as his pass was, had no option but to pass because he was way out on the left side of the box with zero shooting angle.
Iwobi had the option to shoot or try to carve out a better angle to shoot but he INSTANTLY chose the most intelligent option, and executed it with class and aplomb! A perfectly weighted and angled ball to Lookman! That is excellent decision making! That is noteworthy and must be commended from here to the moon, because THAT is what we want to see more of.

Oh, we have to apply a different standard to him? A higher bar as he is not an SE player?
His contribution to our success wasn't one goal. He was involved in many goals and was instrumental in getting us to the final.

Re: That layoff by Iwobi to Lookman for the 2nd goal
The context of my opening the thread is that we don't often see this kind of excellent split-second decision making from SE players at the business end of the game. How does this same context apply to Osimhen, as you claim?Orion wrote: βSat Mar 23, 2024 3:00 pmLook at the guy contradicting himself.

How about Osimhen? He did similar things that got us penalties that were based on brainwork when he wasn't even in a position to score. Why does he only deserve criticism and not praise like Iwobi?

Re: That layoff by Iwobi to Lookman for the 2nd goal
I'll praise him(like I have praised him in the past) when he does his job. Iwobi did his job and duly got praised. I have criticized Iwobi many times in the past here as well.
