Nigeria Dream Team IV Qualifies For Rio 2016 Olympics

Nigeria’s Dream Team IV has automatically qualified for the football tournament of Rio 2016 Olympics by reaching the finals of the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations.

It is a great achievement for the team, whose preparations had been disrupted with the kidnapping of the mother of head coach, Samson Siasia.
  Senegal had the opportunity to go ahead late in the first half with a penalty, but Nigerian goalkeeper Daniel Emmanuel made an excellent save.
With just a few minutes from the end of the game, Senegal’s Thione was sent off handling the ball in the area, and Nigerian captain Ogehnekaro Etebo scored to send Nigeria into the final.
