Nigeria U23s coach, Samson Siasia, has commented on his team&rsquo;s qualification for the showpiece game at the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations against Algeria.<br /><br />Against all the odds - on and off the pitch problems - the national team booked their ticket for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro after beating Senegal 1 - 0 in the semi- final, thanks to Etebo Oghenekaro&rsquo;s 76th minute strike.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m very happy to win against Senegal again after the Africa Cup of Nations in 1992 and achieving our objective, which was to qualify for the Olympics, &rdquo;&nbsp; Siasia said in his post - match reaction, according to cafonline.com.<br /><br />&ldquo;I think the &lsquo;gods of football&rsquo; were with my team today because Senegal created most of the chances but they failed to score.&rdquo;<br /><br />The former Nantes forward heaped praise on Enugu Rangers shot - stopper Emmanuel Daniel for his heroics and tipped the Senegalese team to qualify for the Olympics after giving the Dream Team a scare.<br /><br />&ldquo;Emmanuel Daniel (Goalkeeper) kept us in the match as he made some brilliant saves today. On another day, we could&rsquo;ve been embarrassed.<br /><br />&ldquo;We did the best we could because we had lots of injuries heading into this match but I hope that Senegal can qualify to Rio so as to have a strong African representation in Brazil.<br /><br />&ldquo;Creating chances and scoring them are different so I&rsquo;m not concern that we allowed Senegal to have the best chances of the match, &rdquo; concluded Siasia.<br /><br />The Dream Team shared the spoils with Algeria when both teams countries met in a Group B fixture last weekend.<br />
