Bruno Onyeamachi Deserves Praise For Keeping Brahim Diaz Quiet – Oliseh

Legendary Nigerian midfielder Sunday Oliseh has hailed Super Eagles defender Bruno Onyeamachi for his impressive display against Morocco’s Brahim Diaz in the AFCON 2025 semifinal encounter in Rabat. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Bruno Onyeamachi deserves lots of praise for nullifying every threat posed by Diaz during the game, because it was not an easy task.

Oliseh added that the Nigerian defender kept the Real Madrid star quiet until he was substituted for Ilias Akhomach in extra time.

His words, “Bruno seems to be doing a job on Brahim Diaz. Seems like this is the first time someone has matched Diaz.”

WOW.

The Nigeria national football team represents Nigeria in international men’s football. Governed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), they are three-time Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winners, with their most recent title in 2013.

In February 2024, the Nigerian national football team was ranked 28th in the FIFA rankings. The team has qualified for six of the last nine FIFA World Cups, missing only the 2006, 2022 and 2026 tournaments. They have reached the round of 16 on three occasions. Their first World Cup appearance was in the 1994 edition. The team is a member of FIFA and Confederation of African Football (CAF).

Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations after ending the qualifiers with a 2–2 draw against Guinea with goals from Ikechukwu Uche and Victor Obinna, but were successful in their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign, qualifying for the final tournament in South Africa after an 8–3 aggregate win over Liberia; after playing through the tournament with an unbeaten run, they defeated Burkina Faso 1–0 in the final to lift the Cup for the third time.

However, they did not qualify for either of the next two tournaments.
