In the first ever senior meeting with Ukraine, the Super Eagles of Nigeria were held 2-2 at the Dnipro Arena in Dnipropetrovs’k.
The Ukrainians were grateful for the draw because of some profligate finishing from the Nigerians.
Gernot Rohr would have been pleased with the players newly capped; especially Glasgow Rangers midfielder, Ayodele Aribo, who scored three minutes into his debut.
However, Italian referee, Paolo Valerie, may not have covered himself in glory with his handling of the encounter.
