Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali received accolades from Nigerians once again during the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
His outstanding performance, including saving two crucial penalties in a shootout against South Africa, propelled Nigeria to the tournament final for the first time since 2013.
Despite conceding a penalty during regulation time, Nwabali’s commanding display earned him the Man of the Match award.
Captain William Troost-Ekong contributed to the victory by converting a penalty, and fans expressed their gratitude for Nwabali’s pivotal saves, hailing him as the deserving No. 1 goalkeeper for the Super Eagles.
With four clean sheets and numerous impressive saves, Nwabali is poised to claim the title of the tournament’s best shot stopper.
