Head Coach of Nigeria U-23 national team Imama Amakapabo has praised his players for their performance against Sudan on Tuesday.
The Dream Team VII bounced back from 1-0 from leg defeat to the Sudanese in Omdurman last Thursday, to record a 5-0 comprehensive win in the second leg played at the Stephen Keshi’s Stadium in Asaba.

“But it’s a different ball game when we are playing at home, we had a good training session and we worked on a lot of aspect of the game, that’s a plus for us ”
“There is a big qualification in front of us, let’s get to Egypt and see, but we have to qualify for the Olympics.” He concluded.
