“It was like a dream but I thank God, the NFF and the coaches for making me realize the dream of playing at the world’s biggest stage in football. I am a fulfilled man,” Ejike Uzoenyi said.

Nigeria kept their World Cup hopes alive with a 1 - 0 win over the Dragons in Group F action on Saturday night.

They will next face one of the pre - tournament favorites Argentina in Porto Alegre two days from now.
