Nigeria will face Germany in
Semi Finals match of the Rio Olympics Men Soccer in Sao Paulo on Wednesday after the Africans
Dream team scored in each half to beat Denmark.
John Obi Mikel put Nigeria ahead after 16 minutes when he slotted
home from the edge of the six-yard box after Imoh Ezekiel had set him up.
Aminu Umar doubled their lead with a glancing header from a corner
after 58 minutes.
In the other quarter finals match, Rampaging German side hammered
Portugal 4-0 to set up a semifinal clash with Nigeria.
Davie Selke got the third in the 75th with a goal that was almost
identical to the first before substitute Philip Max put the icing on the cake
when he ended a sweeping move with a neat finish into the top corner three
minutes from time.
Preview of the Match
Germany performance against Portugal can give the chills over any
other team coming on, but not the African champions. You don't mess with the
Nigerian Dream team; Gold Medal winner in 1996 and silver medalist in 2008.
This Nigerian team looking so similar like that of Nigeria could
stun the Germans come Wednesday. Of course, playing the German machine will be
a proof of real champions. On a good day, this German team will be hand full...
and can tire apart any team without tactical and technical discipline.
