Update: On This Day In 1996, The Two Best No.10s At The Summer Olympics In Atlanta Georgia, Battle For Midfield Domination🇳🇬🦅
Nigeria's "Jay Jay Okocha" and "Argentina's Ariel Ortega...in a serious contest🏋️
"During the gold medal match, Nigeria came into the game as the underdogs despite defeating Brazil in the semi-final "
3 mins into the game, Argentina took the lead through "Claudio Lopez". And there was ice cold scenario across Nigeria and other African countries.
"But then, the Eagles, Celestine Babayaro, equalized in the 28th minute with a powerful header. Fans in Nigeria and other African countries erupted in jubilation"
Just 5 minutes into the second half, "Hernan Crespo", restored Argentina's lead through a spot-kick... Nigerians and fans of the super eagles minds skipped, their BP rose and temperature very high (there became sick )
And in the 59th minute, Nigerians came for the head of "Bonferere Jo", after he substituted "Okocha" for Garba Lawal. Okocha was so versatile that many thought he'd finish the match.
But then it was a tactical substitution, and in the 74th minute, Daniel Amokachi (D Bull), looped the ball into the net for the equalize. He celebrated by running towards the midfield shouting and nodding his head.
Then the winning goal came in the 90th minute through Super sub, "Emmanuel Amunike". He beat Argentina's offside trap to bury the ball in the net. And immediately, the rest was HISTORY 🏅
Fans stood on their toes, tempo very high...our hearts beating faster than normal, some fans fainted, some slumped... Match Commentators talking faster than their lips could carry them we are champions.
Sadly, super eagle have not won any other Olympic's gold medal in more than 2 decades.
Never to worry, the super eagles are coming back stronger 💪🏿
