Team captain John Mikel
Obi continued his sensational display at the tournament with a man of
the match performance and scored Nigeria's first goal in the 16th minute
after a cutback pass by Imoh Ezekiel.
In the 27th minute, Nigeria's goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel saved from point-blank range as Denmark went in search of an equalising goal.
Amuzie's
shot was shoved off for a corner by the Denmark goalkeeper and the
resulting corner kick taken by Mikel Obi was put in the net by Aminu
Umar in the 59th minute.
Denmark looked
clueless and found it hard to penetrate Nigeria's defence and coach
Samson Siasia will be proud to have kept a clean sheet as the African
powerhouse qualified for the Semi-final stage.
Nigeria will now play Germany in the semifinal of Rio 2016.

Up Niger,
Chierika Ukogu won silver medal for Nigeria in Rowing and there's no love sent out to her?

Its obvious you don't understand Olympic rules
Congrats to the Siasia led boys. Wish them the Gold medal at Rio.

Mumu shut and get ur deformed as informed...each team is allow to come to olympics with 3 senior players..neyma is the captain of Brazil dude is not 23
Congratulations boys, u guys should keep it up
This clearly shows that most of you who make comments here are not informed. Olympics allows for 3 over aged players in every team and Mikel is one of them.
Ezekiel and Aking played out their lives. God bless dem. Linda take note!
Ezekiel and Ekong played out their lives. Linda take note!

Olympics football rules allows each team to field three over age players. Just like we had Uche Okechukwu, Daniel Amokachi and Emmanuel Amuneke as our over aged players in Atlanta '96 Olympics.
