Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, solidified his presence on the international stage by clinching the Save of the Day accolade during Nigeria’s triumphant match against Cote d’Ivoire on Thursday. His remarkable save thwarted Jean Philippe Krasso’s attempt in the first half, ultimately contributing to Nigeria’s victory.

Nwabali’s exemplary performance not only earned him the coveted award but also marked his first clean sheet in four appearances for the Super Eagles. Despite his relative inexperience at the international level, the 27-year-old exhibited unwavering confidence throughout the game, solidifying his position as a formidable force in Nigerian football.

As the Super Eagles gear up to face Guinea-Bissau in their final group stage match at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan next week, Nwabali aims to maintain his stellar form and further elevate Nigeria’s pursuit of AFCON glory.
