Former Nigeria head coach Sunday Oliseh has lauded Super Eagles defender Bruno Onyemaechi for his exceptional performance in the AFCON semifinal against Morocco.
Morocco emerged victorious with a 4-2 win in the shootout, advancing to the final after a goalless draw in regular time.
Onyemaechi unfortunately missed his penalty, and Youssef En-Nesyri scored the decisive spot-kick to secure the win for the host nation.
However, his performance has been hailed by Oliseh after keeping Diaz quiet for the entire match before being substituted in extra time for Ilias Akhomach.
