Nigeria’s Dream Team has again defied all odds to qualify for the semi finals of the male football event of the ongoing Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
The John Mikel Obi-inspired side beat Denmark 2-0 in the quarter finals on Saturday
Mikel scored a goal in the 15th minute and also provided an assist in the second half of the encounter.
The Danes also created a couple of chances but goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel did his best to thwart all their efforts.
The Nigerians however dominated both halves of the game.
Their efforts finally paid off just before the hour mark when Mikel, with a well-delivered cross, found Aminu Usman who connected with a header which put Nigeria 2-0 up.
The Dream Team coached by Samson Siasia, will now face Germany in the semi-final.
