Senegal pummel Nigeria to win fourth title

So we lost the Beach Soccer title to Senegal who smashed us 8-4

Below is the match report culled from my parent website Supersport



Senegal continued their amazing run at the African Football Confederation (CAF) Beach Soccer 2016 tournament in Lagos to remain unbeaten and clinch their fourth title by beating hosts, Nigeria.
It was their fourth title, making them the most successful team on the continent, in Beach Soccer.
The Senegalese side [below] exhibited the class that made them unbeatable throughout the tournament and simply flattened the Sand Eagles 8-4.

Nigeria [below] who were looking for their 3rd title after winning it in 2003 and 2007 seemed to be playing at a different speed and never could catch up to their fellow West Africans who were simply quicker off the ball, and finished clinically upfront.
This is the third time Audu Adamu’s men will be losing in the competition’s final – after a failed attempt in South Africa 2006 and Morocco 2011.
Meanwhile Senegal's Al Seyni Ndiaye was named best goalkeeper of the tournament, and Nigeria's Emeka Ogbonna decorated as the Most Valuable Player of the championship. Babacar Fall, the amazing Egyptian, won the tournament’s topscorer’s prize with 11 goals.
Both teams , Senegal and Nigeria, will now represent Africa at the Beach Soccer World Cup in 2017 in the Bahamas.
Earlier in the 3rd place game, Egypt easily swept aside Morocco 4-1

Elohor Godswill Ekpolo sits in the Barcelona dressing room, his Nike Tiempo boots comes off his foot as coach Jordi Vinyals pats him on the head for a great game and for good measure too. The talented right-back had earlier scored for FC Barcelona's Juvenile A squad (equivalent of the Barcelona C team) as they whipped Celtic 3-0 to round up the group stage matches of the 2013/14 Uefa Youth Champions League. The goal was his third in six group stage matches, as Barcelona's Under-19 team ran riot collecting 16 points from a possible 18in a group that also had the youth sides of AC Milan, Ajax and Celtic. Ekpolo is highly rated in the Blaugranas circles and is tipped to become a first team star very soon to follow the footstep of his more illustrious and established La Masia graduates like Carles Poyul, Sergio Busquets, and more recently Cameroonian youngster Jean Marie Dongou.

Abdullahi, 21, penned the deal with the Kuwaiti side after he rebuffed overtures from South Africa, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and a deal with Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon fell through at the last minute. The former Kano Pillars midfielder says he is comfortable with the deal as it affords him a new challenge and an avenue to put himself in the window. "I'm really happy with the deal. It's a new challenge that I am looking forward to," he told 9jafooty from his base in Kuwait. "A lot of people were surprised I chose Kuwait, but I am happy. Kuwait will be a springboard to better things. This is just a stepping stone. "I hope to give my all to the fans of the club and also help the team win laurels during my stay here." Abdullah
