Champions Sand Eagles on Saturday defeated Argentina 5-0 at the ongoing Copa Lagos Beach Soccer Tournament to send the home fans into wild jubilations.

It was the Nigerians’ second victory in as many games, having defeated hard-fighting Lebanon 7-6 in their first game of the competition.

The impressive Victor Tale began the rout early in the game when he opened score with an acrobatic goal.

Abu Azeez doubled the lead after missing several chances before goals from veterans Isiaka Olawale and Ogbonna Okemiri and Emmanuel Owhoferia ensured an emphatic win for the Nigerians and confined the South Americans to their second consecutive defeat in the tournament.

Sand Eagles coach, Adamu Audu, is already looking ahead of his side’s next game against European champions Portugal on Sunday.

“The zeal to lift the trophy again is high, so we will carry on the winning mentality when we play against Portugal,” Audu said.

“We had a great game (against Argentina); we showed great power and determination to retain the trophy. Much of the credit goes to the players for their sacrifice and dedication to make the country proud.”
