Nigeria player ratings: Which Super Eagles impressed vs. Libya?

For the second game in a row, Odion Ighalo stole the headlines as Nigeria boosted their hopes of reaching the Africa Cup of Nations with a 3-2 victory over Libya in Sfax.

The Super Eagles hitman followed up on his hat-trick in the first match against the North Africans on Saturday with a double - including a late winner - as Gernot Rohr made it three consecutive qualifying victories.

The three points take Nigeria up to top position in Group E, and in pole position to qualify for Cameroon 2019.

POSITIVES

Another goalscoring performance for Ighalo can never be a bad thing.
