| Enyeama jokes with Messi after he finally scores the Nigerian keeper |
Vincent Enyeama, who was arguably Nigeria's best player in the Brazil 2014 World Cup before the exit of the Super Eagles has been applauded. His heroics and top saves couldn't go unnoticed especially, against the might of Argentina. Check below, a list of top 10 best Gooalkeepers in Brazil.
The Lille of France goalkeeper had a fantastic football last season. He pulled some extraordinary saves which made him almost unbeatable last season.
Nigeria dominated their first group game against Iran but would've lost it if not for Vincent Enyeama's heroics that denied Reza Ghoochannejhad's fine header. He then took his fine form onto the Bosnia Herzegovina match which he was obviously outstanding and kept a clean sheet which took Nigeria to the Round of 16.
Against Argentina, he was again superb against Lionel Messi and co. although he conceded three. At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Lionel Messi did all he could but couldn't put the ball past the Nigerian keeper. However, Messi returned this year with a revenge mission and eventually did it at last.
Funny enough, Enyeama moved the spell on to Angel Di Maria whom he denied multiple top saves. The Argentine winger must be facing the same nightmare Missi did. Anyways, he'll try again at another World Cup but that's if Vincent Enyeama is still playing which looks unlikely.
Against France in the Round of 16, Enyeama was punished severely by Paul Pogba when he mishandled a cross that enabled Pogba to score the winning goal and ruined another otherwise top performance from the Nigerian goalkeeper.
