RIO 2016 OLYMPICS: How Mikel, others rated in semifinals defeat to Germany

The Olympic Eagles displayed a poor performance in the Rio 2016 semifinal match against Germany on Wednesday night, losing 2:0. Here is how the players performed.

Emmanuel Daniel (7/10): The goalkeeper was Nigeria best performer during the night. Made some crucial saves to keep his side in the game but couldn't do anything about the two goals his side conceded.

Stanley Amuzie (4/10): The left-back put on his worst performance of the competition. He failed to stop opposition attacks from the left and the quality of his crosses were extremely poor.

William Troost-Ekong (6/10): The centre-back failed to match his performance in the quarterfinal win against Denmark but still put in an above average performance during the night.

Sincere Seth(4/10): Seth once again failed to justisfy his inclusion in the team as he failed to put in an impressive performance.

Shehu Abdullahi (4/10): Had a lacklusture game by his standard. The right-back had a torrid time coping with the pace of Serge Gnabry and the quality of his ball was poor.

Ndifreke Udo (4/10): Took the place of the suspended vice-captain of the side, Azubuike Okechukwu, in midfield, but struggled so hard to fill the position.

Usman Muhammad (4/10): He was largely anonymous in the game. Perhaps, the absence of Azubuike Okechukwu contributed to his below par performance.

Mikel Obi (6/10): The skipper of the side struggle to impose himself in the game. He was always sorrounded by Germans whenever he was with the ball. Had a goal-bound effort blocked in the first-half after a dribble.

Ezekiel Imoh (5/10): He was nowhere his best in the game as he was marked out by the German defenders.

Aminu Umar (4/10): Toiled hard to impress in the game with little or no effort for the entire 90 minutes.

Sadiq Umar (4/10): The forward wasted a glorious opportunity to equalise for Nigeria in the first half. Overall, he gave a subdued performance.

Substitutes Junior Ajayi (3/10): Took the place of Sadiq Umar in the game and offered little.

Saliu Popoola (3/10): He was brought in to add more creativity and vigour in the midfield, but failed to accomplish the task.
