Breaking: Nigeria Qualify For Semi Finals, Beat Denmark 2-0

Nigeria have qualified for the semi finals of the male football event of the ongoing Rio Olympic games by beating Denmark 2-0.

The Dream Team this night put up a brilliant performance to beat Denmark. Nigeria will now play Germany in the semi-final.

The Olympic Eagles pushed hard against the Danes with Ezekiel Imoh running at their defence and one of such incursions paid off in the 16th minute, when he cut back and laid a pass into the box.

Mikel picked it up and coolly finished off to ease the tensed up Nigerian team.

Nigeria dominated the game but failed to make it count. Imoh danced into the box but his shot blazed over the bar. He could have laid a pass to Mikel and Umar who were waiting for the ball.

The Danes launched a fight back in the second half, but the Nigerian defence cleared their lines coupled with good goalkeeping by Emmanuel Daniel.

In the 59th minute Umar got the second goal to kill off the game. Nigeria will play Germany on Wednesday and this is a clear chance for a medal for the country.
