A pathetic Nigeria Olympic team suffered its second straight defeat at the Suwon International Tournament in South Korea losing 2-6 to Denmark on Saturday morning.
Nigeria had earlier lost 0-1 to hosts Korea in the opening match of the pre-Olympics tournament, africanFootball.com reports.
The Dream Team went behind in the 26th minute after Erhun Obanor scored against his team from a cross by a Danish player.
The Danes doubled their lead after 34 minutes, when Emil Larsen fired home.
Larsen extended Denmark’s lead four minutes later and he completed his hat-trick nine minute after the restart.
Patrick Da Silva scored a fifth goal for Denmark in the 62nd minute, before Emiliano Marcondes completed the rout with a sixth goal on 75 minutes.
Substitute Abdulrahman Taiwo netted two consolation goals for Nigeria late in the game to give the score line some respectability.
Nigeria was again punished for poor finishing with Liverpool striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, the worst culprit.
Awoniyi’s header in the 13th sailed over the bar narrowly.
He was also denied a goal with a last-minute clearance on 18 minutes.
