NIGERIA UNDER 23 DEFEATS BRAZIL BY 1-0

Nigeria under 23 side beat Brazil under 23 side at their home,leaving the samba boys fans frustrated. The team tutored by Fatai Amoo's confirmed their supremacy over the South Americans by silencing them at their backyard in an international friendly encounter

Nigeria U23 defeated hosts Brazil 1-0 in an international friendly played at the Estádio Kléber Andrade on Friday morning.
Ubong Ekpai's third minute strike was all the Dream Team VI needed to subdue Rogerio Micale's wasteful lads in the keenly contested affair in Cariacica, Espírito Santo, Brazil.
The much talked about encounter described as a repeat of the Atlanta 1996 Olympics football event began on a positive note for the African U23 champions after taking the lead as early as the third minute after Akwa United's Ekpai tucked home a rebound.
Gabigol , Alisson and Felipe Anderson had at least two chances to win the game for Seleção Brasileira but consistent misses denied them victory plus excellent goalkeeping from Nigeria's Emmanuel Daniel.
With coach Micale's introduction of Clayton, Doria , Luciano and Malcom , the Dream Team VI backline was placed under constant check - but the hosts failed to convert begging chances.
