February 21, 2015 – Nigeria’s Under-23 national team, Dream Team, today moved into the final qualifying rounds of the Men football tournament at the 11th All-Africa Games beating Gabon 4-1 in Libreville.
Junior Ajayi scored in the very first minute before Warri Wolves FC striker Etebo Oghenekaro increased the tally from the penalty spot two minutes to half time.
Ajayi maintained his knack for quick starts with another goal in the 47th minute, but Gabon pulled one back through Axel Meye midway into the second half, but Nigeria ensured a handsome advantage going into the second leg when Enyimba forward Peter Onyekachi made it 4-1 in added time.
Members of the Nigerian community in Gabon made a good presence and cheered the Dream Team loudly at the Stade Augustin Monedan a Sibang. The return leg will take place at the National Stadium, Abuja on Saturday, March 7.
