While, Ighalo was enjoying rave reviews from Nigerian football faithful, Dosu believes Uzoho saves was vital to the team in Uyo and Nigerians will be banking on the 19-year old Elche goalkeeper to come to the rescue of the team again in Sfax.

“They say Nigeria don’t have a goalkeeper before but we that are goalkeepers know he’s got something to show in the national team.

“Even in the Uyo game, there was a header he saved which tells you more about his quality, but hope he does it again tonight.” Dosu told Goal.
