Miracle of Damman: I believe the Flying Eagles squad of 1989 is one of Nigeria’s best. Although, they eventually lost to Portugal 2-0 in the finals in Saudi Arabia, how can one forget their miraculous victory against the Soviet Union in the quarter-finals? After being down 4-0, they hit the Russians with four goals in the second half to tie the game in regulation time and eventually triumphed in a penalty shootout 3-5, before beating the US in the semi-finals at the Prince Abdullah al-Faisal Stadium In Jeddah to set up the clash with Portugal. How can one forget the hard scrabble and exquisite play of stars like Mutiu Adepoju, Oladunni Oyekale, Christopher Nwosu, Peter O hen hen and Pet er OgAba throughout the tournament: youtube/watch?v=p5LIGg1PkkU
