Nigeria, June 27 -- The Super Eagles on Wednesday became the first team to reach the Round of 16 in Egypt. They have played two matches, won both, scored two goals and obtained the maximum six points.

In truly hot conditions at the Alexandria Stadium, Kenneth Omeruo capped a man of the match performance with the only goal of the encounter.

Gernot Rohr made five changes to the starting 11, who kicked off the AFCON campaign against Burundi last Saturday. Mikel Obi was the highest profile player dropped as Moses Simon and Leon Balogun made their first ever appearance at a Nations Cup tournament.

Here are the player ratings as the Eagles sealed the top spot in Group B.
