Nigeria’s Olympic football team coach Samson Siasia says the focus is to beat Germany on Wednesday to qualify for the Gold medal match against either hosts Brazil or Honduras.

The Dream Team 6 defeated Denmark 2-nil to reach the semi-final in Rio and the coach singled out his defence for praise.

With many already tipping Nigeria to face Brazil in the Gold medal match, Siasia has insisted his team have to first eliminate Germany to reach the final.

It will be the first time Nigeria will play Germany in an Olympic Football Tournament.
