Nigeria has one leg in the finals of the U-23 African Nations Cup, with a penalty scored in the 76th minute by Etebo.

Nigeria and Senegal were goalless in the first half after Senegal had wasted their own chance to record a goal against Nigeria, but the effort was blocked by Nigerian goalkeeper, Emmanuel Daniel.

The Dream Team VI however did not let their own opportunity slip, when Senegal defender handled the ball inside the box while trying to prevent a Nigerian attacker have a touch after Senegal goalie was already down in a scramble.

The Senegalese defender, Thioune got a red card to the bargain, reducing the team to 10 me.

Etebo wasted no time and tucked the ball into the corner, on the 76th minute.
