The Nigeria U-23 team has emerged champions of the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations following their 2-1 win over their Algerian counterparts on Saturday at the Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium, Dakar.
Two goals from Oghenekaro Etebo in the first half following a own goal by Segun Oduduwa.
The Algerians moved closer to getting an equaliser but they were denied by the goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel who not only stopped a penalty kick but also made other fantastic saves.
Nigeria will now head to the Olympics as African Champions and will be joined by the duo of Algeria and South Africa.
