Honduras U23 1-3 Nigeria U23: Okechukwu, Saviour & Saturday return respect to wounded Dream Team VI


Samson Siasia's lads swept aside La Bicolor Olimpica to secure third place in the Suwon tournament, with hopes of emerging as champions already dashed



Nigeria finished their deflated Suwon International Youth Tournament campaign with a confident 3-1 victory over Honduras on Monday at the Bucheon Sports Complex to restore some pride despite their failed expedition.

Samson Siasia’s boys into their final game of the knowing they could no longer emerge as champions following defeats to South Korea and Denmark.

However, goals from Azubuike Okechukwu, Godwin Saviour and Keigo Saturday ensured the Dream Team VI at least signed off from the competition with victory, and avoided finishing bottom of the group.

The reigning African U23 champions were far from their glib best on this occasion, but still did enough to earn a comfortable win.

After a borrowing start, Honduras turned up the tempo and Alberth Elis broke the deadlock 17 minutes into the game – a strike which gave the Nigerians a timely reminder of how they were cracked against Denmark.

Nigeria showed more attacking vibrancy during a lukewarm opening, yet it was Honduras who almost got their second courtesy Anthony Lozano.

However, in the second half La Bicolor Olimpica’s resistance was broken ask captain Okechukwu leveled scores in the 61st minute.

That gave Siasia’s lads a sigh of relief as they controlled possession with just under 30 minutes remaining.

Things got worse for Jorge Luis Pinto’s boys in the 69th minute as they conceded a penalty after Ndifreke Effiong was brought down inside their goal area. Saviour took up the responsibility in the 18-yeard box and first past goalkeeper Harold Fonseca.

And Saturday sealed the win for his side with three minutes left to play with a wonder strike from the center of the field that beat Fonseca.



Nigeria U23 will return on later this week as they hope to ring some changes to the squad ahead the 2016 Olympics men’s football event

Hi miss @beautyfunke
Would love to have a chat with you.

crap

Pls, why is this on front-page ??

Just because we won our last game in Suwon after being "Kpraked" 6-2 by Michael laudrup's U-21 Country men and beaten by the worst team in Suwon, South Korea 1-0.

Look, the only lessons Siasia has learnt from this tournament are two central things:

No 1:
- Only 5-6 of the 19 players that went to Suwon deserve Call-Ups to the Manchester and Atlanta training camps and they are Azubuike Okechukwu, Emma Daniel, Yusuf Mohammed, Usman Mohammed and Sadiq Popoola.

The sixth one will be Stanley Amuzie to serve as backup to Kingsley Madu but other than that, I go with the five above.


**If I catch more than 6 players from this 19 that went to Suwon ehn... #MakeWeDeyWatch


No.2:
- His players selection policy is Crap!!!!!


Period!!!!

If we don't take our very best U-23 talents to Rio.... then I advise we do not go as well (that will draw us sanctions shaa.... but it's that bad).. imagine the likes of Obanor, Emiloju, Saturday Kiego (FORGET HIS WONDER GOAL!!!!), Sincere Seth and Amuzie defending against Zlatan, Neymar, James Rodriguez, or even Okazaki?? Haba!!!!

When we have Awaziem, Troost Ekong, Ndidi, Musa Mohammed, Kingsley Madu, Omeruo, etc to serve as our defensive rocks and all are very good quality..... what is Obanor and co doing in this team?? What??!!!

Siasia!!.... Siasia!!!! Siasia!!!!! Siasia!!!!!!
