Nigeria vs Tahiti
As for Monday's match, Nigeria dominated the contest thanks to a hat trick by NnamdiOduamadi and a general advantage in experience and skill.
In reality, it was pretty much over before it ever started. Tahiti qualified by winning the Oceania qualifier, although the squad is seriously overmatched in this event.
This hope of success did not last long, as Nigeria was able to score two goals in the first 10 minutes, the first of which hit off two defenders before going in.
The young squad was finally able to get on the scoreboard in the second half, though, as Jonathan Tehau was able to head the ball into the net off a cross.
This is certain to be a moment that no one on the roster or watching from back home will forget for a long time.
Still, Nigeria was clearly the better team in this matchup and tacked on three late goals to make it an easy victory.
Nigeria will hope to continue its solid play against Uruguay on Thursday. This will follow a matchup between Tahiti and Spain that could get ugly in a hurry.
As for the rest of the Confederations Cup, Brazil will resume play on Wednesday against Mexico, while Italy takes on Japan in Group A.
