The second half of the game resumed with Jason not being on the pitch, to the surprise of almost everyone watching the game.
Instead, the Nigerian side had come out in a more defensive 4-5-1 formation with more players behind the ball than ever.
The Burkina Faso manager instantly realized that the Nigerian side were shutting up shop and he quickly sent men forward as with Jason off the field, he could commit more players on the attack, however he very nearly paid dearly for that decision.
It took only one lightning-fast counterattack that the goalkeeper barely managed to keep out to realize that the Nigerian team wasn't going to sit back if a clear opportunity showed up.
Thus, the Supa Eagles managed to strike a balance between defending like their lives depended on it and starting a sudden attack every five minutes or so to remind the Burkina Faso team to stay on their toes.
