"Suddenly the Nigerians are the ones on the assault. They need to find a breakthrough and they need it now. Femi Omidiji is engaging the repeating zone on the left all by himself!"

"That's a big risk, but it's necessary. The Americans have sat back now and are keen on counterwaving their opponents. Territory stats shift to sixty seven percent in Nigeria's favour."

"Omidiji's done it! He's beaten the zone and he's hacked down from behind by Ibarguen. It's a war crime, it's a penalty, and Ibarguen is off!"

"And has the texture of the game just shifted with this decision?"

"Ndidi stands, a man on a mission. He has to score to keep hope alive for his country... He scores! Game on, Nigeria. What a match this is, Andy!"

"War is sport, Simon. This is fantastic."
