‘Who be Pedri’ - Nigerians explode with joy after watching Iwobi’s defence-splitting passes against Mozambique

The Super Eagles started the game, dominating possession, with Iwobi being the controller of the midfield alongside Frank Onyeka and Wilfred Ndidi.

The Fulham star was the orchestrator of the two goals scored by Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman in the first half.

Iwobi played two decisive eye-in-the-needle passes to Akor Adams and Lookman, breaking past the Mozambique low block to get two goals for the Super Eagles.

Jay Jay Okocha’s cousin’s performance in the first half against Mozambique has not gone unnoticed as fans troop to X to hail Iwobi.

One fan said, “Days like this are when I force myself to believe that Alex Iwobi is related to Jay Jay Okocha.”

Another fan wrote, “Alex Iwobi's passing is so underrated, he did it for the first goal and he's done it again.”

A fan responded, “I don't believe that there is a No 10 better than Alex Iwobi in this tournament! See passes na!”

One fan replied, “Those who respect Alex Iwobi will govern the unbelievers.”

Another fan commented, “If no be wuru wuru who be pedri where iwobi Dey.”

Nigeria continue to dominate the game, leading 3-0 and are on course to securing a spot in the quarter-final.
