It might sound bizarre that after securing a draw a team was rewarded with a trophy yeah! but this is what happened when majorly home based super Eagles defended well to earn a 1-1 draw against a highly rated Spanish regional side Catalonia yesterday; who paraded stars from Barcelona, Ac Milan and Espanyol...
The Cruyff's side capitalized with their huge pressure and ball possession in the first half when a Nigerian defender handled in the box for a penalty which was converted by Gonzalez.
The likes of Puyol, Xavi , Pique,& Bojan were the stars that played but the story changed in the second half when Nigeria turned their good defensive effort into a counter attack that saw Bright Dike score the equaliser for the Super Eagles. Chigozie Agbim 3rd choice keeper, Azubuike Egwueke, Solomon Kwambe, Azubuike,onazi, Godfrey Oboabuna and Benjamin Francis were among the home based players that did the good work for Keshi's side.As the tradition demands Nigeria the away team was awarded the trophy of the Match and the Super Eagles celebrated it as if they have won the AFCON already....lol
