Mikel Return With Bronze From Rio.

The Men’s Olympic Football Tournament Rio 2016 Nigeria won bronze after an entertaining moment against Honduras in Belo Horizonte’s Estadio Mineirao. Nigeria Samson Siasia’s side enjoyed a three-goal advantage shortly before the hour mark thanks to Sadiq Umar’s brace and Aminu Umar’s 49th minute goal, but Honduras gave the African side a late scare as Antony Lozano and Marcelo Pereira reduced the deficit to just one goal. Nigeria started brightly and put Honduras under early pressure. They came agonisingly close to taking the lead on seven minutes when Mikel John Obi found Aminu Umar, whose effort struck both posts. Umar had another good opportunity minutes later but was denied by goalkeeper Luis Lopez. Honduras were not without their chances, however, and Nigeria shot-stopper Emmanuel Daniel was called into action to deny Alberth Elis on 11 minutes. The forward then had a golden opportunity on 33 minutes when he broke through the Nigeria defence with his blistering pace but Daniel held firm to deny the Olimpia man. The Central Americans were made to rue that missed opportunity as Nigeria took the lead just a minute later. Congratulations to Samson Siasia and the Dream team
