A leading Nigeria publication have expressed their surprise over the decision to substitute Joe Aribo in their gritty 0-0 draw with Ghana.
All Nigeria Soccer gave the Ibrox favourite a rating of 7.5/10 - the highest mark they awarded to any Super Eagles player on a night about result rather than performance.
But Aribo was the first to be sacrificed as he made way for Brentford star Frank Onyeka in the 60th minute.
