The Super Eagles of Nigeria were held to a goalless draw in Kigali on Tuesday in the second leg of their African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The host, Rwanda produced a superb performance to hold the Super Eagles attack which has proven to be deadly largely.
Coach Augustine Eguavoen made one change to the starting lineup that defeated Benin Republic 3-0 in Uyo on Saturday.
Lookman who scored a brace started in his favourite position on the left wing as Samuel Chukwueze and Victor Boniface joined the Atalanta man in the attack.
Dele-Bashiru remained the only change in the side that replaced Alex Iwobi in the lineup to partner Wilfred Ndidi in the Midfield.
Bruno Onyemaechi played from the left wingback position while Ola Aina operated from the right-wing back side.
Fulham defender Calvin Bassey partnered captain William Troost-Ekong and Semi Ajayi in the three-man centre-back formation as Nwabali started in goal.
Nigeria pressed to their best but couldn’t break the deadlock.
The Super Eagles produced nine shots on target as opposed to Rwanda’s two shots but couldn’t find the cutting edge to send the ball to the back of the net.
Despite the draw, Nigeria remains top of the group with four points from two games having won their first game against Benin and will be hoping for a good result when they play against Libya who will be playing against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic later on today.
