Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi ended any chance England had of persuading him to play for the Three Lions on Friday - after making his competitive Nigeria debut in front of a bumper crowd.
An estimated 40,000 fans crammed into the 25,000 capacity stadium as Iwobi came off the bench in the second half as Nigeria drew 1-1 with Egypt in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Supporters were spotted standing wherever they could to grab a view, including on the scoreboard and from floodlights as Mohamed Salah left it late to cancel out Etebo Oghenekaro's opener.
