Nigeria vs Brazil - Men's Football Semi-Final Atlanta 1996 | Atlanta 1996 Replays 

I'm Brazilian and I have Nigerian DNA. Proud of my roots.

i will never ever forget this day in my lifetime, it is one of my happiest day in my life i was 17 yrs back then, i watch this match from start to finish.

14:00 Flavio Conceicao 31:13 Roberto Carlos (OG) 39:25 Bebeto 48:50 Flavio Conceicao 1:31:46 Ikpeba 1:44:30 Kanu 1:56:41 Kanu

I saw this match, I was there at Atlanta Stadium! There were a lot of Brazilian and some cheerful Nigerian fans playing African music all the time... It was a great match! :-)

The best outing of Nigeria till date. It was the Lord's doing and marvellous in our sight.

I was 14... watched that match at late hour... the best match i ever seen...I allways support nigeria when it's not my country.

This is one match that every Nigerian who watched it live would never forget where they watched it and the people with them at the time. They joy and delight this match gave me was immeasurable.

Kanu was Brazil's nemesis in this epic match. He was simply unplayable. Pure class.

I never get done watching this particular match when Brazil got humiliated by Nigeria's irreplaceables. They made Africa proud!!!

At the heart of this defence were two of the best defenders Nigeria has ever produced...Uche okechukwu and Taribo West.

perhaps the best ever assembled African team.. just the flair and elegance nigeria was playing with even when 2 goals down against a world class Brazilian team with two future balon d'or winners is just out of this world

What a marvellous display of talent and courage the Nigerian team exhibited! This game will remain memorable to Nigerians and Africans.

God of Eleventh hour, I hail o, wonderful game. He's a miracle working God, He is the Alpha and Omega, He's a miracle working God….

When nigeria was still the giant of AFRICAN with big players kanu, okocha and others super power nigeria

I'm Hatim I'm from Sudan I like Nigerian football

I like Kanu's style of celebrating ohh my African brothers love from Uganda

Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬. I was 10 when I watched this match.

I was 7years then but anytime I watch Atlanta 1996 on RU-vid the smile on my face is different and that was wen I am proud to be a Nigeria not now

Not a single brazilian plan together with entire coaching staff will ever forget the name Nwako Kaki, he's the greatest in Nigerian football. He is one of the few international footballers who propelled the African continent to greater heights. You the King of football, Africa loves you

Garba Lawal did a good job replacing Sunday Oliseh who was suspended for that game

It was a great victory for Africa. Long live Nigeria. Amen.

I am Sudanese, we love and proud of the Nigerian legend team, this was a football arts lesson given by a great African team to Brazil and then to Argentina

I remember that night. We danced from Dumez road to Ring road in Benin City.

David killed Goliath again 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

In the second half of the match, the Nigerian boys displayed superb skills.

Kanu (aka Papilo) was simply unplayable. What a crazy guy.

Tremendo lo de Nigeria!!! Un justo campeón al vencer a Brasil y Argentina de forma simultánea.

can't get tired of watching this game

It was so surreal on that day…the only country who rooted for Brazil was Brazil..even every country in South America rooted for Nigeria so were the over 3 Billion people on earth…that was epic.

For those who might be confused with the naming of some of the Brazilian players. The Ronaldinho that you're thinking of did not play in this game. In fact, the player with the "Ronaldinho" jersey is actually. . .Ronaldo. So back in the day, when Ronaldo was like 18-20 years old, there was already a defender on the the team who went by "Ronaldo." So what they did was, in the 1994 World Cup, the older Ronaldo went by "Ronaldão" ("big Ronaldo") with the young Ronaldo going by "Ronaldo." HOWEVER in the 96 Olympics, Ronaldão went by "Ronaldo" and the younger Ronaldo went by the name "Ronaldinho" (little Ronaldo). Interestingly, 3 years later, Ronaldo, by then a global superstar, had pretty much earned the right to the "Ronaldo" name on the field during the 1999 Copa America. HOWEVER, there was a guy on that team who's full name was Ronaldo de Assis Moreira. By 1999 he started going by the name "Ronaldinho Gaucho." However because Ronaldo was no longer using the name "Ronaldinho," this allowed Ronaldinho Gaucho to take the Ronaldinho name. This is a name he kept and became world famous under that moniker. That's the Ronaldinho we all know and love. That was a lot but for the purposes of this video: "Ronaldo" is actually Ronaldão "Ronaldinho" is actually Ronaldo "Ronaldinho Gaucho" (not on this team) is actually Ronaldinho.

I've heard so much about Atlanta '96' and I'm glad to watch this wonderful video. I was just 5 years old then. God bless Nigeria !

Keanu’s victory run after he score that very smartly played goal, priceless.

these players were good Kanu, Amokachi, Okocha, Okechukwu, Ikpeba, Babayaro, Oliseh, West, Babangida, Amuneke And Oruma..

Pure energetic African football never to forget

The best team Nigeria has ever produced. The players were very determined by the way they defeat South American countries like Brazil and Argentina. Kudos to the dream team led by Kanu Nwankwo.

This celebration of Kanu's goal in time 1:44:44 is one of the funniest in football history, lol. I remember like it was yesterday, my relatives and friends sad, but laughing at Kanu's funny celebration.

this game is still seen today as a great defeat for Brazilian soccer, coach made changes that didn't need to be made, and underestimated the great team of Nigeria, this game was an big shame in Brazil, shame forgotten only with the gold medal won in 2016

0-1 Flávio Conceição (1 min) 1-1 Roberto Carlos (20 min (OG)) 1-2 Bebeto (28 min) 1-3 Flávio Conceição (38 min) 2-3 Victor Ikpeba (78 min) 3-3 Nwankwo Kanu (90 min) 4-3 Nwankwo Kanu (94 min)

Okocha wasted alot of chance in dis game, no wonder no big team signed him after the tournament, his shot always go wide.

KANU......EL MAS GRANDE JUGADOR QUE A TENIDO NIGERIA A TRAVES DE TODA SU HISTORIA........COMO DECIA NOLBERTO LONGO.....: ESTE SI ES UN JUGADOR DE VERDAD ".......EL QUE AMA EL FUTBOL..AMA A KANU...!!!....LOS GOLES QUE HIZO..SOLO LOS HACEN LOS SABEN JUGAR AL FUTBOL................BENDITO SEA EL FUTBOL...!!!!!!!!

The whole match belonged undoubtedly to Nigeria . Superb football on all levels!

Golden breed of Nigerian Footballers , Okacha. kanu , amokachi , ekpeba ,emanuel nike

Great comeback Nigeria! Proud!

I look at this game now as an adult and Nigeria pressed Bra offensively

We sang this song in the streets of Nigeria. “When Nigeria win Brazil When Nigeria win Brazil o, Bebeto start to cry, When Nigeria win Brazil”

This is one of the best matches i have ever watched 👀 ❤ almighty Brazil 🇧🇷....Nigeria great country..brave people 👏 👍

This felt like a gold medal match. I will never forget when Nigeria beat Brazil.

Nigeria had it easier with Argentina than Brazil, I don't wanna be Jay Jay in that period he missed that penalty lol, Kanu ezi nwa Nwankwo like oliver de coque referred to him in his Atlanta 96 music. I love these guys!

Que buen fútbol jugó Nigeria mucha calidad y fuerza física, merecido campeón remontó el partido y nunca se dio por vencido *uno de los mejores equipos de la historia.

Still remember this iconic classic match.

Ikpeba proved he should have played in USA 94 by his performance in this game

That was the year when men were men..not our indomie super eagles... They play as a team not as individual of now.. I was lucky to watch the match life...

I will never forget this match In my life..never!

Thanks . Why will you upload a match without commentaries ?The commentaries was one of best things in this Match.

1:58:45 Dosu Joseph crying at the end always brings tears to my eyes.... What a moment

Underluted Victory! Ever conscious team who's hope of Africans Continent was on their shoulder and they delivered. Africans football history can never be completed without this Golden Team.

I can not forget about this football match

i have heard so much about it..I was just given birth to that Same year,,glad I could watch the clip now and understand why it was so much an unforgettable match for Nigeria

THe day NIGERIA AND AFRICA SHOCK THE WORLD,💪🤩🇳🇬

An unbelievable skill and brickmanship exhibited by Nigeria;only time will tell!

Nigeria were the best team at that time

the deep contrast between the Nigerian and Brazil bench. one is relaxed, happy and beaming while the other are upset, coaching and drilling words. might have been the cause. who knows

Great Nigerian Team With The Likes Of Kanu, Amokachi, Okocha, Okechukwu, Ikpeba, Babayaro, Oliseh, West, Babangida, Amuneke And Oruma..

What a team , it will be always in my memory

The only time I ever bet in favour of any team. I was so much In love with the team having watched them against Brazil at the group stage.

I love how the crowd is cheering for the underdogs

What a great memory that can't be forgotten for africa

This is the best super eagles team ever. Now we have a bunch of unserious players who go to night clubs before a football match as a prematch ritual. What a shame. Croatia wouldn't dare knock us out of a world cup competition then.

Such a great match. We were so lucky back then. Today is so different. @1:58:00 I see Bebeto is not too pleased...

Let's not forget that this team was made up of players like kanu nwankwo of ajax, jay jay okocha of Frankfurt in Germany, finidi George of ajax( the world best "7" at the time and the touch-line specialist), omokachi(the bull), amunike of zamalek of Egypt ( the flying header specialist), taribo west, uche okechukwu( the giant), celestine baba yaro of chelsea, victor ikpeba( the prince of Monaco), Wilson oruma, sunday oliseh and the rest of them. These players till date are still considered the greatest in the the history of Nigerian football.

Hope is never lost

thanks for uploading this.. i have to download this and show it to my kids when they grow up and the have to do the same...

wow this is so amazing 😍I'm proud of Nigeria i hope they can be like this again🙏

1:49:46 to 1:53:50 The Isley Brothers - "Shout"... It is the music that was heard in the background while the break took place and then continued with the supplementary one ...

This game was an afterthought. Brazil was expected to win. In New York where I lived, they didn't even broadcast this game like they did the other events. They reported news of this game as an upset since Brazil were World Champs two years earlier.

This was a great performance up up 9ja 🇳🇬👌👍🤔😁😁💪❤️❤️❤️🍷🍾💪

Brazil can't believe Thier eyes, on how d super eagles where dribling them lik jay-jay, ND ticky- tacking them like arsenal @ist-half.. despite d 2-1, lead by Brazil..wat a sweet match to behold

the build up to Nigeria's first goal was absolutely beautiful

When everything is genuine in football

May our God almighty continually providing for our old football's and news ones, I also wish them all long life and prosperity, love you.... all

Las las we out played Brazil & Argentina in both games..we finished Brazil on this one..d no believe weytin hit them in both half's...shock of the world football game, ever

2021 during covid19 still reliving this classic olympic match.

Nigeria jugando un fútbol regular venció a un Brasil desconocido, practicamente sin delantera... y una defensa que deja mucho que desear...Kanu excelente goleador, pecho frio, olfato de gol, técnico...Saludos desde Perú...

Please show one of the most exciting women's football matches ever played in the Olympics between USA and Canada in the 2012 London Olympics semi-final match. Several of the matches of women's soccer from 2012 are already posted on the Olympic channel, but this match has not been posted. It was an intense, back-and-forth nail biter, truly a classic match in women's football history. Thank you.

Great match! Brazil was the current World Champion (1994). But Nigeria had a great generation too.

Game of the tournament!

When Nigeria rules the world. The Best in all our in All our senior football international tournament.

Quelqu'un sait où est-ce qu'on peut trouver le premier match, en poule, entre le Nigeria et le Brésil ??? C'est celui-là qui était magnifique, malgré leur défaite, avec une prestation nigerianne tout simplement exceptionnelle !!! Je n'oublierai jamais ce match de folie !! Si quelqu'un peut me donner une piste pour le retrouver dans son intégralité, merci d'avance !!!

One of the greatest African nation vs one of the greatest south America nation.

I'm also watching in 2024

A rare moment when Mr. Collina became the 4th official.

There is no Nigerian, probably African who did not go through every emotion that night of Atlanta 96. The best football match in African football history. When the best of Africa took on the best of the World and Nigeria came out on top and did it with style and class! That look on Bebeto's face at the end will forever be etched in my mind. How many years on and I still remember it like it was yesterday. 🤣

The best team Nigeria ever got. Beating the Almighty gods of soccer Brazil and Argentina was a great task for Nigeria then.

Proudly Nigerian 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Please pray for my brother Ifeanyi in Nigeria. He is missing since days. He did report in social media about the terrible situation during the Covid19 lock down in his city Lagos. The EU gave Nigeria 51.3 mio € for help but this money wasnt shared with the poor people. So many people are starving without any help of the government. With the money we did donate he was able to share food to starving people around him. He also started to report about the situation in social media and now he is missing and we lost contact to Ifeanyi. Please pray for my good brother Ifeanyi. He has done so many good deeds in name of God and did help so many poor people in Nigeria.

Está fue la final adelantada, increíble que con tremendos monstruos Brasil no haya conseguido el oro

Glory africa👏⭐👐👑💐❤

Woow I can't forget this day.

This match is big lesson than everything is possible in football.

I am from Nigerian 🎉🎉🎉
