Fatai Amoo's boys confirmed their supremacy over
the South Americans by silencing them at their
backyard in an international friendly encounter
Nigeria U23 defeated hosts Brazil 1-0 in an
international friendly played at the Estádio Kléber
Andrade on Friday morning.
Ubong Ekpai's third minute strike was all the
Dream Team VI needed to subdue Rogerio
Micale's wasteful lads in the keenly contested
affair in Cariacica, Espírito Santo, Brazil.
The much talked about encounter described as a
repeat of the Atlanta 1996 Olympics football event
began on a positive note for the African U23
champions after taking the lead as early as the
third minute after Akwa United's Ekpai tucked
home a rebound.
Gabigol , Alisson and Felipe Anderson had at least
two chances to win the game for Seleção Brasileira
but consistent misses denied them victory plus
excellent goalkeeping from Nigeria's Emmanuel
Daniel.
With coach Micale's introduction of Clayton, Doria
, Luciano and Malcom , the Dream Team VI
backline was placed under constant check - but the
hosts failed to convert begging chances.
Brazil will continue their preparations for the Rio
Olympics when they face South Africa U23 in
another friendly on Sunday.

I don't like that "try to score me if you can" tactic! Why didn't we press? We should also have been wasteful too. At least it'll mean we attacked back. But hey...winning the Brazilian team in Brazil? Bloody brilliant!
