Joseph Yobo believes Iwobi is key to Nigeria's chances

"The team still needs more cohesion because, from the midfield, we are yet to get it right.
“However, we have more attacking players than midfield players. But then, when Iwobi picks, I am sure the team will create more goal-scoring chances.
“I think keeping a clean sheet is another positive result from today’s game and it shows the defence is doing something good.”
