GUI 1-0 NGA: Worst players for super eagle in the first half of the afcon qualifier match.

 
  According to a report by Flashscore on Tuesday September 29, 2026, Super Eagles endured a first half against Guinea-Bissau, falling behind after Franculino Djú’s 15th-minute finish. Nigeria created openings but struggled with discipline, defensive pressure and attacking efficiency, leaving several players below expectations throughout period overall.

Five Super Eagles Players Who Struggled in the First Half:

1. Calvin Bassey

Calvin Bassey was among Nigeria’s most concerning performers before halftime. He committed a foul shortly before Guinea-Bissau opened the scoring, allowing pressure to build before Djú eventually found the bottom corner and punished Nigeria’s vulnerability.

2. Taiwo Awoniyi

Taiwo Awoniyi also struggled to influence proceedings positively. The forward committed fouls in the ninth minute and was penalised for handball shortly afterward, while Nigeria lacked attacking presence through the middle and failed to sustain pressure.

3. Alex Iwobi

Alex Iwobi had an inconsistent opening period and gave away an early foul in the fifth minute. Although he created Lookman’s chance with a through ball, his involvement failed to control Nigeria’s attacking rhythm consistently.

4. Wilfred Ndidi

Wilfred Ndidi endured a frustrating half as Guinea-Bissau repeatedly tested Nigeria physically. He committed a foul in the 43rd minute and struggled to impose himself consistently in midfield during a period when the hosts applied pressure.

5. Bright Osayi-Samuel

Bright Osayi-Samuel similarly found the going difficult defensively. His foul in the 44th minute handed Guinea-Bissau another opportunity to advance pressure, adding to Nigeria’s disciplinary problems during the closing stages before halftime.
