Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr says Maduka Okoye showed why he is presently the first choice of the team with his performance in the 0-0 draw against Sierra Leone in Freetown.

Okoye was attacked by some section of the media in Nigeria after the team threw away a 4-0 lead to draw 4-4 on Friday against same team in Benin City.

The Sparta Rotterdam shot stopper was however still handed the position of first choice by Rohr for the reverse tie and even though he has little to do, Rohr felt he did enough to shut his critics up.

“ We wanted to be solid in defence after what happened on Friday and I am specially happy for our goalkeeper who showed to everyone that he is a good goalkeeper.

“ We have a young team it was the shock the other day of Victor Osimhen everybody was afraid and today they want to fight for him”.
