Olympics 2016: Nigeria wins men's football bronze

                               
Nigeria won an Olympic bronze medal in the men's football with a 3-2 win over Honduras in Belo Horizonte.
Nigeria, the 1996 Olympic football champions, are now the first African country to complete an Olympic medal sweep having won a sliver medal in Beijing in 2008.
Victory gave Nigeria - beaten by Germany in the semi-finals - their place in history, by winning all three men's football Olympic medals.
At Atlanta in 1996, they became the first African team to win the gold medal.
They also finished runners-up at the 2008 Beijing Olympics to take silver, where current under-23 coach Samson Siasia also coached the 'Dream Team' in China. 
Nigeria is now 75th on the Medal table.

Congratulations to them!!!
