Ex-Arsenal Star Among The Scorers As Nigeria Lose 3-0 To Brazil

Super Eagles Legends lost 3-0 to Brazil in their final group game at the ongoing Star Sixes six-a-side indoor football competition in London on Saturday afternoon.

Brazil number 20 Júlio Baptista, well known for his stint with Arsenal, opened the scoring for the South Americans with a thunderous shot that beat goalkeeper Peter Rufai.

Before Nigeria could equalize, they went further behind when Elano Blumer tapped in from a yard out .

Former Middlesbrough sensation Juninho scored the most eye-catching goal of the afternoon with a shot from the middle of Nigeria's half.

Nigeria finished third in Group B with three points and will have to wait until all the group matches are concluded to discover if they made it to the quarterfinals as one of the two best third-placed teams.
