Iwobi’s Red Card and More: Four Takeaways from Nigeria’s 2-2 Draw with Jordan

Iwobi’s Red Card and More: Four Takeaways from Nigeria’s 2-2 Draw with Jordan

Nigeria’s friendly with Jordan ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Alex Iwobi picked up a red card late on for an off-the-ball incident. It was only his second red in 97 caps for the Super Eagles. The squad showed great depth. Moses Simon scored again and players like Yira Sor and Raphael Onyedika impressed. Emmanuel Fernandez made his first start count with a composed goal and solid defending. Goalkeeping remains a concern. With Maduka Okoye injured and both Francis Uzoho and Adebayo Adeleye conceding soft goals, Nigeria still needs a clear number one.

It's just a friendly match; maybe we're overreacting to a red card that came in garbage time.
