1. Nigeria Football Miracle of Dammam
It’s the quarterfinal game of the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship hosted by Saudi Arabia.
Nigeria under 20 team faced the Soviet Union Under 20 team for a chance to advance to the semi-finals. Nigerians had high hopes for the game. In this quarterfinal game, the Soviet Union raced to a four-goal lead within 46 minutes. Everyone couldn’t believe it. The match was all over at this point. No team at a FIFA World Cup match had ever comeback from four goals down to equalize let alone, go on to win. At this point, many fans lost hope. They felt it would be Soviet Union advancing to the semi-finals. However, the Nigerian players had other plans in mind. With only thirty minutes left in the match, Nigeria responded. Christopher Ohenhen scored two goals, in the 61st and 75th minutes of the game.
Samuel Elijah then scored the third goal in the 83rd minute before the captain, Nduka Ugbade completed the remarkable comeback with a goal in the 84th minute to end the game in a draw. Nigeria then won the match 5-3 on penalties to knock out Soviet Union who at this point couldn’t believe what just happened. Nigeria went on to defeat the United States 2 goals to one in the semi finals but lost to Portugal in the final. Even though the team came second in the competition. Their exploits in the quarter finals would not be forgotten and it was given it’s own name called “The Miracle of Dammam”

2. Nigeria Comeback AT 2014 CHAN against Morocco (The Cape Town Miracle)
Many people might have forgotten this, but it was just as incredible as others.
Nigeria had just won the African Cup of Nations in 2013, and the home-based players were looking to replicate that feet at the 2014 African Nations Championship (also known as CHAN), however they found themselves down 3-0 at half-time against Morocco in the quarter finals.
The team coached by late Stephen Keshi did not lose hope though, It seems that whatever the coach told them during the break appeared to have worked as midfielder Ugonna Uzochukwu began the comeback for Nigerian with a strike four minutes into the second half. Rabiu Ali then smashed home the second goal for Nigeria from the edge of the box in the 56th minute, the talented winger, Ejike Uzoenyi, then completed the extraordinary comeback for Nigeria in the 90th minute, when his shot from outside the box beat the Moroccan keeper to send the game to extra time.

Substitute Aliyu Ibrahim then sealed the historic win with a goal in the 11th minute of extra time. Nigeria has just come from 3 goals down to defeat Morocco 4 goals to 3 and the fans couldn’t believe it. The players did a really good job pulling such a comeback on that day. Nigeria however lost the semi-finals game to Ghana on penalties.
But Nigeria still claimed the bronze medal after defeating Zimbabwe in the third-place match. Ejike Uzoenyi was voted as the best player in that tournament.

3. Nigeria Comebacks AT Atlanta 96 Olympics
Nigeria defeated Brazil in the semi-finals at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic games in what many people will describe as a miracle and their favourite comeback of all time in Nigerian Football History.
Nigeria managed to achieve what would become a legendary comeback against an all-star Brazilian team (which included Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Bebeto and Rivaldo).

Brazil was leading 3-1 with 12 minutes to the end of the match if felt like the game was over. At the 78th minute, Nigeria pulled one back with a goal from Viktor Ikpeba. The Nigerian team then equalised in the very last minute thanks to a goal from legendary striker Nwankwo Kanu to send the match into extra time. Kanu would also score the winning golden goal four minutes into extra time to send Nigeria to the finals.
Nigeria would do the same thing yet again at the finals against Argentina, coming from 2-1 down with less than 16 minutes to the end of the match. First Daniel Amokachi equalised in the 74th minute to bring the scores level. And then the key moment came: In the very last minute, Nigeria won a free-kick and Argentina tried to play the offside trap. But they failed, leaving Emmanuel Amunike alone in the box who scored to give Nigeria the victory against Argentina. And for the first time ever, an African team had won the Olympic football tournament.

My favorite remains Atlanta 96. Kanu Nwankwo was brave enough to carry the ball when it became obvious that the referee didn't want to end the match at stoppage time which means he wanted Argentina to win.

With what Kanu did, he was forced to blow the final whistle.

saintokwuluora:
Nigeria v Brazil @Atalanta 96 Olympics is my favourite because we had never beaten a Brazil team before, it usually ends 4-0 in their favor and most importantly the victory paved the way for a triumphant gold medal against Argentina for Africa's first gold medal in the football event of the Olympic Games. The history of football in Africa is not complete without the mention of that game. The whole country was quaking for 24 hours from that night till the next night.

Such was the joy of football in that generation. Footballers were everyone's role model unlike today. This generation don miss

ATL 96 OR NOTHING!

musterseeds:
I think Nigeria vs Morocco at the CHAN 2014 is underrated. That comeback was massive, coming from 3-0 down to win 4-3. I remember that day, I left where I was watching at half time, already lost hope, only to realize later in the day that we won. Unbeliavable

✨✨⏩⏩Nothing in Nigeria global soccer can
be as sweet as the defeat of Brazil in
the semifinals of the 1996 Olympics
soccer event.

That victory was even better than the
eventual final against Argentina who we
beat to take home the gold medal.
The victory was a classic case of snatching
victory from the jaws of defeat. ☺️☺️☺️☑️☑️

In the second half of that match, at 3-1
against us, those of us watching had already conceded defeat and were praying for
less goals against us, to reduce the disgrace.

I was Kaduna based at the time, and due
to time difference, the matches were
played between 1 to 2 am Nigeria time.


Immediately After the win, almost the whole youthin Kaduna made an immediate procession to the family home of Tijani Babangida, amember of the squad, to greet his father , that same night at 3am❗️❗️❗️


Abacha era was a glorious time for
sports in Nigeria.

I remember the miracle of Damman is Saudi Arabia.

After the match, journalists asked our coach, Disu how the team were able to comeback, he replied that his boys simply played to instruction.

Another journalist then asked him “You mean you asked your boys to concede four goals and then do a comeback”?

That became the biggest joke of the tournament then.

Definitely Damann miracle.

Hope was lost in the first half. Nigeria was completely overwhelmed by the old USSR. The team was a good one, with very solid players. Angus Ekeji, Christopher Ohenhen, Samuel Elijah, Nduka Ugbade, etc.

The free kick converted by Christopher Ohenhen brought us a glimmer of hope. The supporters at the stadium danced and played the drums with more intensity. With the game at, 4 - 3 Nigerians rose to their feet. The team was on a great ascendency and rather than have hope, we had faith. Our faith became reality when the great Nduka Ugbade lifted the ball above the goalkeeper to make it 4 - 4. The joy was unspeakable. With more time we could have defeated the Soviets. It was a great game. The passion was there, the emotion was high; the enjoyment no be here. All the bars were filled.

IBB was the head of state. Nigerians were suffering “austerity measures”, but were not deterred.

Chai.

Northern leaders, na una spoil this country with very poor leadership and economic policies.

When Nigeria Win Brazil.! When Nigeria Win Brazil O.! Bebetos Start 2cry.!! As When Nigeria Win Brazil.!!!
Indomie gen-z shift stand

The QPR final against United and the Aston villa final against liverpool...the erection I got was unbec0ming knowing fully well that losserfools lost the epl by a point and ucl by a goal
.nothing can be more painful to the fans

Don't compare cos life na individual race. Some of your peers are currently doing weigh better than u.

Saudi 89 recommended as the best. Guys please watch the match again.

When Nigeria beat Brazil.

They have not been anything like that atlanta 96, in terms of football in Nigeria.
To top it all, Nigeria went ahead and win the gold medal, but the other two comebacks even though they were spectacular, the 1st price still eluded us.
