Uzoho was roundly criticised for his poor ball handling and judgment of crosses during the game.
Rohr was asked about the performance of the 19-year-old, who is currently on loan at Elche from fellow second division side, Deportivo La Coruna.
The German insisted that the defence should shoulder part of the responsibility, even though he admitted Uzoho was nervous.
“Uzoho is young, only 19 and sometimes you have to forgive him for some mistakes. That was a difficult game for him, he didn’t have so much to do in the beginning then he conceded the goals and he was a bit nervous later on.
“Perhaps the defenders made some mistakes, it’s not only the goalkeeper because Libya scored two goals to come back due to their fight and it didn’t come to us as a surprise,” Rohr said, according to OwnGoalNigeria.
