Home based player Ejike Uzoenyi came close to scoring in the first 45 minutes, but struck the bar. The Super Eagles who lacked creativity in the midfield,struggled to cope with the energy Rwanda in the middle of the pack.
Three local base players Ejike Uzoenyi of Rangers,Azubuike Egwueke of Warri Wolves and Geofrey Oboebuna of Sunshine Stars all started the game. In a World Cup qualifier against this same Rwanda,Nigeria drew 1-1 in 2005.
