The Omonia Nicosia of Cyprus goalie allowed Thomas Partey’s long range effort to slip through his hand early in the first half.

Although, the Super Eagles rallied back with defender William Troost-Ekong equalising from the penalty spot, they were eliminated on away goal rule.

There were reports in the media on Monday that Uzoho, who was left out of Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming friendlies against Mexico and Ecuador has quit international football.

The former Deportivo La Coruna star has however pour cold water on the speculation.

“I’m committed to playing for my dear country anytime I’m called up,”Uzoho told the Super Eagles media team.

The 23-year-old has 18 caps for the Super Eagles.
