10 PLAYERS TO WATCH (MEXICO VS NIGERIA)

Claudio Zamudio

Claudio Zamudio | Attacking Midfielder | Wears the number '10',  may be dangerous!

Abraham Romero | Mexico | Goalkeeper | Besides the game against
Chile, in each match he shined with a couple of awesome saves.
He is very acrobatic. He has made 16 saves in the tournament from
450 minutes of football, an 88.9 per cent ratio and conceded just twice.

NIGERIA

Akpan Udoh | Nigeria | Goalkeeper | He's kept Nigeria's back line very
solid with his saves. Kept them in the game against Brazil's marauding
attackers. Has conceded three goals, one against Chile and two in the loss
to Croatia, made 17 saves in 450 minutes with an 85 per cent ratio.

MEXICO
Jose Esquivel | Defender | Mexico's captain, he is the strong man at the back of the team. Shows his leadership every game and is one of the reasons El Tri have only conceded twice so far.

NIGERIA

John Lazarus | Full back | Full back with deadly attacking instinct who helps to create
scoring opportunities for the attackers. Very strong and hard working lad.

MEXICO

Claudio Zamudio | Attacking Midfielder | Wears the number '10', but actually he is a
heck of a striker. Camudio has scored two goals so far and has a very tricky feet.
Will be the heart of the playmaking.

NIGERIA

Kelechi Nwakali | Midfielder | Captain of the team, plays in the defensive role and has
a good eye which enables him to distribute pinpoint passes to the attackers.
Has scored two goals from the penalty spot.

MEXICO

Pablo Lopez | Midfielder | The only one that has played all the minutes and games
with the team, Lopez is El Tri's midfield compass. He creates most of Mexico's chances
 and is a dangerous passer.

NIGERIA

Samuel Chukwueze | Winger | Chukwueze has scored thrice so far. He is deadly going
into the box and showed this by earning three penalties against Chile.
Will trouble the Mexican defence.

MEXICO

Eduardo Aguirre | Striker | Mexico's goal weapon. Aguirre has only scored one goal
 in this tournament, but most of the balls to the area go searching for him.
He is an excellent header and possesses good physical presence that will disturb
 the Nigerian defenders.

NIGERIA

Victor Osimhen | Striker | Osimhen has great pace for counter-attacking and has
 shown his deadly ability by scoring 8 goals so far, at least a goal against every team.
He is looking to break the 9 goals record of the championship and has two more
matches to do that. Has unbelievable agility despite his height.
