Nigerians blast Francis Uzoho after howler against Saudi Arabia

The Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to end their winless run in international friendlies as they drew against Saudi Arabia.

The major highlight of the game was Francis Uzoho's howler that led to the Green Falcons' first goal of the game.

The three-time AFCON winners played out a 2-2 draw against Roberto Mancini's men at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao on Friday evening.

Nigeria were arguably the better side in the early stages of the game but conceded first 15 minutes after restart.

Former Deportivo La Coruna goalkeeper, Uzoho, made a huge mistake as he failed to keep out Salman Al-Faraj's freekick in the 60th minute, according to a report by Soccernet.

Nigerians on social media were not happy with the Super Eagles goalkeeper for the mistake he made in the game. One said:

"Free Nigeria from the shackles of that GK Uzoho"
A Fan wrote:

"So you mean to tell me that the most populous footballing black nation has no Goalkeeper home or abroad better than this fraud Francis Uzoho??"

Another said:

"Inside Uzoho and Onana I no sabi who gba pass"

"Nah imagine Eze, Madueke and Olise playing for the Super Eagles and Uzoho concede that goal.. Swears they'd fall to the ground and start laughing on the spot"
