Although he only played the first half, Vincent Enyeama put in a "man of the match" performance for Nigeria. He did well to organize his back four and was there to deny what few Mexican scoring chances there were. Enyeama really excelled on the corner kicks, as he was a confident presence in the air and didn't allow Mexico any second-chance opportunities.
