Nigeria’s Dream Team VI wednesday booked a place in the men’s football
event of Rio 2016 Olympic Games with a 1-0 defeat of host Senegal in the
semi final of the CAF Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Dakar.
Warri Wolves player Oghenekaro Etebo got the winner when he converted a
second half penalty awarded to Nigeria following the handling of the
ball in the box by a Senegalese defender.
A mix-up between goalkeeper Ndiaye Seydou and Ousseynou Thioune in the
Senegal defence let in Kufre Ebong, but before he could shoot into an
empty goal Thioune held on to the ball to be sent off for a professional
foul. Etebo sent the Senegalese goalkeeper diving to the wrong side of
the goal post during the spot kick.
congratulations to Nigerians and the couching crew.
