The Nigerian Dream Team had 3 days ago beaten the Denmark team scoring them 2-0.

The team’s captain, Mikel Obi scored the initial wonderful goal thereby opening the door for another goal qualifying the team for the semi finals against Germany.

Hope is high on the team to qualify for finals and possible championship win in order to at least bring one and only Rio 2016 Olympic gold medal to Nigeria.
