What a game. I have to give it up to the awusa boys from Bukani Faso, they played a better team game but they just could not finish well, no strikers. The nigerian team had a lot of its player capable of dribbling though their defence and into the gaol mouth. They lost several scoring chances but was lucky and glad to get the W.Oh, if you are hooked up to the cable, the game was on one of the Spanish channels, Galavision. Chances are that the finals will be played here if you don't mind the Spanish.
