A mysterious operation? Nigeria s starting three forwards, worth a combined 120 million, were all replaced at the start of the second half

In the African play-off final of the World Cup preliminaries, Nigeria lost to the Democratic Republic of Congo in a penalty shootout and missed the World Cup for two consecutive years. During the game, the Nigerian coach's substitutions caused heated discussion.

Osmeen suffered a head injury due to a collision with his opponent, and was excused from the field at the beginning of the second half.

In the 57th minute of the game, Chukwueze and Lookman were also substituted. This also means that all the starting three forwards worth a total of 120 million euros have been replaced.

In the end, neither side made any further achievements, and Nigeria lost 3-4 in the penalty shootout.
