Nigeria Half-Time Analysis:
Vincent Enyeama: made several good stops to keep Bosnia out
Joseph Yobo: caught by Dzeko on a few occasions; needs to be more alert in the second half
Efe Ambrose: largely in control of his flank
Kenneth Omeruo: very similar to Yobo; decent but nervy at times
Juwon Oshaniwa: struggling to deal with Hajrovic coming in off the right
Ogenyi Onazi: using the ball well and putting himself about
John Obi Mikel: has had his moments but is finding it hard work against competitive opposition numbers
Michael Babatunde: Not frequently involved but did well when he was.
Peter Odemwingie: always looking to get involved; he took his goal well
Ahmed Musa: His speed and daring runs down the right have been Nigeria's most consistent threat.
Emmanuel Emenike: The striker's power has been problematic for a Bosnia defence looking soft.
Nigeria Full-Time Analysis
Vincent Enyeama: Good work again in the second-half to deny Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Joseph Yobo: The defender had a better second-half, sending back a lot of what came his way.
Efe Ambrose: A tougher time of things after the interval as Bosnia attacked down his flank more often.
Kenneth Omeruo: Came through on a few occasions to clear and kept things tight.
Juwon Oshaniwa: Did better after Hajrovic's substitution but had a hard night's work under consistent pressure.
Ogenyi Onazi: Strong again in the second-half, he worked hard to drive his team forward.
John Obi Mikel: Worked hard but was unable to influence the game as much as he would have liked.
Michael Babatunde: A quieter second-half showing before going off injured.
Peter Odemwingie: Less involved later on but he used the ball intelligently when it came his way.
Ahmed Musa: Tired out by his first-half efforts, he was subbed off after 15 minutes of the second-half.
Emmanuel Emenike: Less to do by the end, but he looked to get at the Bosnian defence whenever the opportunity arose.
Substitutions
Shola Ameobi: Did his part keeping Bosnia and Herzegovina out as Nigeria held onto their lead.
Ejike Uzoenyi: Not hugely involved but like Ameobi offered a fresh pair of legs on a tiring night. Continue to see more analysis...
