We were few minutes into the match when there was a power outage that night, we kept hoping it was soon going to be restored while we listened with 100% attention to the commentary on my father's small transistor radio he used in listening to VOA news every night.. I couldn't count the number of times the Nigerian commentator shouted GOOOOOOOOOOOOL OH NO!!! in which the entire street would have been thrown into a frenzy. The experience that night remains nostalgic.

Omo! How time flys. This were the period when men were boys or how dem take dey talk am. I watched this match in a friends house that night, it was tension soaked encounter. The terrenga lions gave it all. I hope we could have dogged fighters in the super eagles now, like we had in the past. This gives a nostalgic feeling.

Sunday Oliseh was so sick on the day of the match. And still forced himself to play. He came in not quite long and gave Aghahowa long ball which was converted judiciously to equalise and the rest is history. Imagine how passionate these guys were

I still remember when the Senegalese goal keeper was running down the clock in the name of sustaining injury little did he know that his delay tactics would later be in vain. It was still at that juncture that the referee had to remove an object from the back of the net 🥅 and it didn't take long Nigeria 🇳🇬 equalized.
@oluwafemikuyooro18499 ай бұрын
I was told that it was Late Coach Tunde Laloko of Pepsi Academy that informed d referee that the object has to be removed.

Wrong! It was Coach Kashimawo Olaluko who went in at half-time to remove an object the Senegalese goalkeeper had put in the goal post when the game started. It was NOT the referee at all. After the tournament, Kashimawo Olaluko was banned by CAF for, I think, a 2-year period for pitch invasion.

@@TolulopeAdeyemiPage I'm not disputing your claims but i still recall when the goalkeeper was delaying on the ground after he claimed he sustained an injury around 10- 15 minutes before the end of the 90minutes, I think that was when the referee removed that object.

To explain the pitch invasion back in those times there was a thing called the golden goal where any goal scored in extra time was the winning goal. AFCOM didn't accept this rule and the Nigerians obviously weren't to know this

@@bigbamo92Rufai was a better goalkeeper than Shorunmu. Shorunmu had his stint with the Super Eagles after Rufai had left the scene. I don't know the time you watched Rufai, but Rufai was a good goalkeeper in 1980s and early 1990s. Maybe, you watched him in 1998, when he was at the twilight of his career. Shorunmu was more of a second/third choice till after 1998 when he became the main keeper. Shorunmu was good, but Rufai was a better goalkeeper than him. Enyeama would be ranked side by side with Rufai, but Enyeama to me comes first, but not belittling Rufai's heroics.
