Nigeria Beat Brazil, As Emmanuel Daniel Makes A Name For Himself In South America
Published: March 25, 2016
As part of preparations for the 2016 Olympic Games, African champions at Under 23 level, Nigeria, secured a famous 1-0 victory against Brazil on Thursday night in an international friendly at the Estádio Kléber Andrade.
Midfielder Ubong Ekpai netted the game-winner as early as the third minute when he fired home a rebound.
The Brazil Under 23s created enough chances to level the scoreline but were thwarted on several occasions by the outstanding goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel.
If the Enugu Rangers netminder was an unknown quantity in South America before the contest, he made a name for himself, with at least five decisive saves.
In the second - half, the Brazilian fans were unimpressed with the performance of the Seleção and shifted their support to the Dream Team players, hailing the players whenever they were in possession.
