The U23 team will today face host Senegal in a decisive encounter to know who gets the automatic slot to the Rio De Janeiro Olympics.
Nigeria beat Mali 3-2 in her first group match, drew Egypt 2-2 and played a barren draw with Algeria, finishing second in the Group with five points, thanks to goal difference that gave them an edge.
Senegal gathered the maximum points available in the Group, beating South Africa 3-1, Tunisia 2-0 and with another 1-0 victory over Zambia to finish top with nine points.
Senegal have so far enjoyed great home support, but playing with a struggling Nigerian side requires tactical discipline and carefulness. As Siasia's team would do everything possible to see the team through. It's going to be a tough one.
