With goals from Victor Tale, Abu Azeez, veterans Isiaka Olawale and Ogbonna Okemiri and Emmanuel Owhoferia, the Nigerian side ensured that the South Americans were condemned to their second consecutive defeat in the tournament.

Sand Eagles coach, Adamu Audu, is already looking ahead of his side’s next game against European champions Portugal on today after they fell to a shocking 4-5 defeat in the hands of Lebanon.

“The zeal to lift the trophy again is high, so we will carry on the winning mentality when we play against Portugal,” Audu said.

“We had a great game (against Argentina); we showed great power and determination to retain the trophy. Much of the credit goes to the players for their sacrifice and dedication to make the country proud.”

  1. It is indeed my belief that mesothelioma will be the most deadly cancer. It has unusual attributes. The more I really look at it the greater I am convinced it does not behave like a real solid cells cancer. If perhaps mesothelioma is really a rogue viral infection, so there is the chance of developing a vaccine and also offering vaccination to asbestos exposed people who are open to high risk regarding developing future asbestos associated malignancies. Thanks for expressing your ideas for this important health issue.
