Honduras' Alber Elis scored in the 17th minute for
Honduras and the team entered halftime holding a
lead over Nigeria.
After much persistence, Captain Azubuike
Okechukwu equalized for Nigeria in the 61st
minute. before Godwin Saviour scored a
magnificent goal by lobbing the goalie from the
center of the pitch to make it 2-1.
