MADAGASCAR 2-0 NIGERIA:

Super Eagles stunned as Barea steal Group B’s top spot
The Super Eagles of Nigeria were left stunned after a 2-0 defeat to the Barea of Madagascar Madagascar at the Alexandria Stadium on Sunday. Goals from Lallaina Nomenjanahara and Carolus Andrea in either half of  the game ensured a Gernot Rohr tutored side would lose Group B’s first spot to the AFCON debutants and set up a likely round of 16 clash with either Ghana or Cameroon.


Head coach Gernot Rohr, made five changes to his side that started in the 1-0 victory against Guinea’s Syli Nationale on Wednesday. Moses Simon was moved to the bench as Samuel Kalu finally got named in the starting XI after his dehydration issue while in training just days to Nigeria’s first game against Burundi.




Goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi who kept clean sheets in Nigeria’s first two game was also benched as Katsina United’s Ikechukwu Ezenwa got named in goal to replace the Kazier Chiefs man. William Troost-Ekong came in for Kenneth Omeruo – Nigeria’s goalscorer in the 1-0 win over Guinea. John Mikel Obi and John Ogu were the other changes made to the team in place of Alex Iwobi and Wildfred Ndidi in the midfield.

Mikel had the chance to open the show for Nigeria after receiving a half chance falls but his attempt at towards goal got blocked and eventually cleared by the Malagasy. The Super Eagles seemed to have settled better into the game in the first few minutes but there was still no clear cut show of in the team’s midfield which comprised of Mikel, Ogu and Etebo.

Nigeria then got a free kick just outside the Madagascar’s penalty area as Razak raked his studs down the back of Ighalo’s achilles. Musa took it but blazed it high and well over the bar.

Madagascar with their first attempt at goal, then took the lead inside the first 15 minutes. John Ogu played the ball across the box with Leon Balogun in sight, the Brighton and Hove Albion man failed to make up his mind early, as Lallaina Nomenjanahara pounced on the loose ball, rounded Ezenwa in goal and scored with ease.
