President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his delight over the victory by the U-23 football over their opponents Japan.
According to Buhari the team “overcame all odds” to secure a memorable victory.
The Nigerian team arrived the venue of the match barely six hours before the game and little was expected from them, but the Samson Siasia tutored side defied all odds providing a sterling performance.
“On behalf of the government and people of our great country, I wish to express my support to our athletes who have arrived in Rio for the 2016 Olympic Games. I am particularly delighted by the outcome of the football match early this morning in which our football team defeated their Japanese counterparts.
“The sweetness of the victory comes from the fact that it came against all odds. Our team overcame several challenges to put up a sterling performance. This is a good beginning.
