Yeah. I somehow mistook Iceland for Argentina and counted his two goals against them.

Corona is serious. The country is shutting down here.

Nigeria is lucky not to be seriously affected yet.

Brazil 3-4 Nigeria (31 July 1996)
This is not a story you’ve heard. Not a story you’ve read. But there’s a lot that needs to be said.

The story still feels like a dream. Who survives a 3-1 onslaught by a star-studded Samba squad — and goes on to win 4-3? Nigerians watched the match in the wee hours of the morning, the period when sleep tends to be sweeter, but the result was certainly real and definitely more delicious.

Parading around the likes of Bebeto, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Juninho, Aldair, and Roberto Carlos, Brazil were overwhelming favourites to clinch the Olympic gold at Atlanta ’96. Nigeria brought their dream team — Kanu Nwankwo, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, Daniel Amokachi, Victor Ikpeba, and Sunday Oliseh, coached by Dutchman Johannes Bonfrere — but it’s possible not one soul believed they could get a result.

3-1 down and with 12 minutes to go, either a comeback spirit possessed Nigeria, or the team was lifted by thousands of prayers muttered half a world away. Ikpeba reduced the deficit from 20 yards before captain Kanu equalized with a goal mouth scramble.

Then, three minutes into extra time, the whole of Nigeria quaked with thunderous screams of “goal!”

It was not just any goal; Kanu’s second was plated with gold.

Wild celebrations erupted across Nigeria. People filled the streets, some running stark naked, some lighting up the dark by burning tires. There were drinks aplenty as shops and restaurants reopened to make massive sales. It felt as though Nigeria had already won the tournament.

And that they did. Nigeria went on to beat Argentina 3-2 in the final — with another comeback, of course — , clinching the gold medal and making Olympic football history by becoming the first African team to do so.

After the historic match, forward Sunday Oliseh said, “I guarantee you that as I talk to you now, everyone in Africa is celebrating. There is no sleeping tonight. Everyone will be happy"

When Nigeria beat Brazil, when Nigeria beat Brazil oh. Bebeto come they cry, when Nigerian beat Brazil.

Unforgettable night from Atalanta 96 Olympics.

THE 5 DATES THAT SHAPED VICTOR OSIMHEN


Facebook
Tweeter
BY MEGDAN AREIAS

First name: Victor. Name: Osimhen. You know him ? Well, so do we. But there is no valid reason not to want to learn more about our number 7. You know, the one who has been driving the counters since the start of the season.

NOVEMBER 8, 2015: A GREAT GOING BUTTER

Let's go back to the… U17 World Cup. Nigeria, the title holder, presents itself as a real favorite during this 2015 edition in Chile. In this formidable team, a young man of 16 years becomes the worst enemy of the opposing nets, so much so that the Super Eagles are new crowned world champions. But who can be this powerful attacker trained at the Ultimate Strikers Academy in Lagos (Nigeria)? Top scorer in the competition with 10 goals in 7 games, the fate of Victor Osimhen has just taken another turn. The launch of a rocket that is not about to stop.


JANUARY 5, 2017: EUROPE TENDS ITS ARMS

When you finish top scorer in a major international tournament, there is no doubt that you end up on the radar of the biggest European teams. This is obviously the case with Victor Osimhen. At just 18, the Nigerian signs his first professional contract in Wolfsburg (Germany). Arriving injured, he nevertheless faces fierce competition (Bas Dost, Mario Gomez or ... Divock Origi) and enjoys little playing time. It is time for him to fly away ... and explode.


AUGUST 24, 2018: IN BELGIUM, IMMEDIATE TAKE-OFF

To continue its ramp-up, Victor Osimhen finds at Sporting in Charleroi a great welcoming land. It only took him one season to demonstrate to the Zebras the full extent of his talent. Fast, physical and incredibly efficient, the one who then wears the number 45 scores 19 goals in 34 games. Including achievement in ... 9 seconds, current record for the fastest goal in the Belgian championship. A meteoric progression that does not go unnoticed. Obviously, the LOSC has been observing the young Nigerian for a long time and sees in him an exceptional potential…


AUGUST 1, 2019: OSIMHEN APPOINTS ITS POD IN DOGS

Summer is in full swing at Domaine de Luchin. A young man - at the same time humble and shy - crosses the courtyard and heads into Marc Ingla's office. That's it, the Osimhen phenomenon is Lillois. In a hurry, the Nigerian does not wait to stand out. First game and a double. Bis repetita 15 days later. The machine is started and no longer stops. 34 games played to date and 17 goals scored (including 2 in the Champions League). Victor Osimhen has become an essential piece of the Lille puzzle.


OCTOBER 17, 2019: A TALENT REWARDED

Needless to say, such repeated performances weekend after weekend are obviously noticeable. On the Nigerian side, first, where he competed in the 2019 African Cup of Nations and with whom he finished third in the competition. He also scored his very first goal in the Super Eagles jersey on September 10 in a friendly match against Ukraine (2-2) before investigating three more thereafter. This further confirms its status as an undeniable hope for the Nigerian nation. On October 17, his performances in the Lille tunic enabled him to win the UNFP trophy for best player of the month for September in Ligue 1 Conforama after a vote by the public and his peers. A deserved reward for a hardworking player who never gives up.

If this virus stays out of Nigeria it could be a chance to catch up with the world. Imagine if the NPFL is the only league fully functioning with fans and everything. Sorry to say but this could be a golden opportunity.
