Nigeria played out a 2-2 draw with Ukraine in Tuesday’s international friendly which drew reactions from football fans on social media.
The Super Eagles enjoyed an emphatic first-half display over Shevchenko’s men and deservedly raced into a 2-0 lead through Joe Aribo and Victor Osimhen’s efforts.
In the second half, the three-time African champions surrendered their lead, allowing Oleksandr Zinchenko and Roman Yaremchuk level for the Yellow and Blue.
On the back of the drawn result, football enthusiasts have taken to Twitter to express their feelings.
Mr. Ighalo can enjoy his retirement from international football, we've got Victor Osimhen
They stopped pressing in the second half. The only players pressing and chasing down balls were Aribo and Etebo. The decision to choke the midfield and close the gaps in midfield was needless and was made out of fear. All they needed to do was keep the pressing style.#UKRNGA
