I'm Brazilian and I have Nigerian DNA. Proud of my roots.
Bless ur soul bro ❤
Cool
I learned there are Brazilians who still practice Yoruba spirituality while most Yorubas raised in Nigeria now tend to practice Islam or Christianity. That's pretty cool. It's crazy to say but I can see it in your features after reading your comment, the 'Nigerian DNA' as you called it.
@@ogeo.8966 I don’t know anyone who still practices it, but they are around for sure. People usually say I look Arabic.
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

God Bless Nigeria.....that game is one of the beauty I ever saw
@@juanitod2496 On the other hand. 💊I'm sharing Acts 2:38 with anyone who wants it bless
Thanx!👍
Thanks OG for sparing us the time ⏲️
@@chinedunweze9184 no problem, it was as great game to watch. glad people are still watching this match
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 game was in Athens, Georgia - not in Atlanta. I was there.
Very entertaining football.
The best outing of Nigeria till date. It was the Lord's doing and marvellous in our sight.
I totally agree with you
Am telling you my brother.
Who is your lord anyway?
Fact
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.
Its remain in our memory
I was 2 yrs. That night i cud still remember
Yes oo. Our golden age is not over. But we have to be ready to put in the work
Este jogo o Brasil ganhando de três a 1 om um gol contra de Roberto Carlos, o empate 3x3 foi vacilo da zaga, o gol de ouro Rivaldo armou um contra ataque do adversário, e o time brasileiro foi pro espaço, esses jogadores tinham tudo pra trazer a medalha de ouro
😊k❤
Kanu was Brazil's nemesis in this epic match. He was simply unplayable. Pure class.
Instablaster.
They all played incredibly well. They made us proud. Blessings.
KANU was really a deadlock breaker. Great match for us.
I never get done watching this particular match when Brazil got humiliated by Nigeria's irreplaceables. They made Africa proud!!!
Yes
Yes
Yes maybe
Thank you
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 swear very composed even at 3-1,down still possessing d game..at ist half, best relaxed squad ever produced in d continent
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.
At the heart of this defence were two of the best defenders Nigeria has ever produced...Uche okechukwu and Taribo West.
Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬.
I was 10 when I watched this match.
I remember this.
Hi agemate. I am still a bachelor or more like Manchelor managing life though. 🤣🤣
I was 8....I remember my brothers living after it was 3-1, I ran into their rooms once ikpeba scored...we had a wild night till the end....what a joy 1996...proudly naija😊😊
I was 5 and I remember it vividly. I have it etched in my memory 😂
When nigeria was still the giant of AFRICAN with big players kanu, okocha and others super power nigeria
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
Kaki 😂I’m sure that’s autocorrect getting involved here.
I'm Hatim I'm from Sudan I like Nigerian football
I was 7years then but anytime I watch Atlanta 1996 on CZcams the smile on my face is different and that was wen I am proud to be a Nigeria not now
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
Football lesson arts???? LOL. Brazil dominated the whole game and had the fourth goal, they gave them the game, nigeria did nothing. Let's be honest and don't talk nonsense.
@@jorgeta7623 we know but Nigeria really showed Brazil what African football is
@@jorgeta7623 and he's not talking nonsense 🙄
@Jorge Brazil dominated what?
I don't think we watched the same match...
What about Nigeria vs Argentina
It was a great victory for Africa. Long live Nigeria. Amen.
I like Kanu's style of celebrating ohh my African brothers love from Uganda
Tremendo lo de Nigeria!!!
Un justo campeón al vencer a Brasil y Argentina de forma simultánea.
!!a
😢😢🎉😮😢❤😂❤❤😂🎉😢😢
David killed Goliath again 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
In the second half of the match, the Nigerian boys displayed superb skills.
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.
One thing about football is It’s doesn’t have boundaries unlike other sports ⚽️. Football is about the best players and best teams in any continent. It makes you feel like you’re part of them
Thiy match is fantastic, every body watch it all over the world.
Wow... I get Nigéria are cool and all but pretty classless for all the rest to root against Brazil, if there is one country that deserves our sympathy even against african nationa it is Brazil. In my opinion that was nothing more than showing the mediocrity of others. I usually root for the better team as a neutral and in this match Brazil definitely deserved the win more, although that's the beauty of football
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….
Garba Lawal did a good job replacing Sunday Oliseh who was suspended for that game
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.
thx for ur Explanation.. now i understand better
In the 1994 world cup there was a guy named Ronaldão (isnt the ronaldo who is playing. He was black and is 54years old nowadays) The the number 4, is Ronaldo Guiaro (45y) and played in Benfica (Portugal). Ronaldo Nazario (43y) was then Ronaldinho. Ronaldo Assis (40y his brother also played in Portugal for Sporting) then became Ronaldinho. In irc old times my first nickname was Ronaldinha, when Ronaldo played for Barça.
Ronaldo Nazario never used Ronaldinho professionally in his tshirt. In this game his name was Ronaldo Lima. The other Ronaldo isnt Ronaldão from 1994 world cup. His name is Ronaldo Guiaro.
Dirty Jerz good explanation. I’ve always wondered why he was called Ronaldinho and then Ronaldo afterwards
Whether Ronaldo became Ronaldao, Ronaldinho or Donald Duck, all I know is Brazil lost to Nigeria and that's all I'm interested in 😋😋😋
can't get tired of watching this game
Kanu (aka Papilo) was simply unplayable. What a crazy guy.
Pure energetic African football never to forget
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 !
Wow, actually my age mate 😁
I watched it mud night that day
I remember that night. We danced from Dumez road to Ring road in Benin City.
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.
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..
Wow, what an array of big stars playing in top clubs across the globe
Totally in Aagreement.
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.
Actually the BEST team Nigeria ever had was the 1994 World Cup 😢 team . So so unlucky . One Roberto Baggio of Italy . ....
That team was simply the BEST. We cruised through the knockout our stage
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
it is called football
Not as bad as the humiliating defeat to Germany at home WC in 2014.
One good thing for Neymar that he will be remembered as the one who bring Olympic glory, only one major dent in Brazil football cabinet, to Brazil at last.
Darwinek, Brazil 1 vs Germany 7, Height Of Humiliation For Brazil In Their Home Soil. Brazil 2014 World-Cup...
ovie onojeghuo yes however Germany will get their humiliation come to them
This felt like a gold medal match. I will never forget when Nigeria beat Brazil.
Me too
Yes you can tell by the keeper's reaction how much this match meant to the nation. A well deserved win!
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...!!!!!!!!
That is an insult on my country please withdraw that statement and do your finding rightly, thanks
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”
:D
lol
I so much love Nigeria
Disrespect towards Brazil
For all the players to pick on, you guys had to choose Bebeto?
Best memorable Bebeto highlight is him dedicating his goal to his child.
I've never seen anything Bebeto did on the field or off to make anyone make fun of the guy.
BTW, Brazil was rooting for Nigeria after losing, specially since you guys were playing against their rival Argentina, and back then people would not think of rooting for Argentina (like today's era in which they did towards Messi).
Great comeback Nigeria! Proud!
The whole match belonged undoubtedly to Nigeria . Superb football on all levels!
This is one of the best matches i have ever watched 👀 ❤ almighty Brazil 🇧🇷....Nigeria great country..brave people 👏 👍
Well said George! I think I know you George. If your dad's name is Mr. Thomas Imafidon, then I know you.
Golden breed of Nigerian Footballers , Okacha. kanu , amokachi , ekpeba ,emanuel nike
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.
This will remain unique heroic football in history
If the NFF Are serious people at all, Nigeria should have won the world cup at least once since all these times 🥺
Best Team coming from World Cup 1994 team that was destined to win the WC for Africa in 1994
I have been hearing about Atlanta 1996. This is my first time to watch it here. These men are real shinning Stars and brilliant skills from the East. When Nigeria was manageable, not now that it's irredeemable. All hail Biafra ❤
Still remember this iconic classic match.
The that has no equal.
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)
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 look at this game now as an adult and Nigeria pressed Bra offensively
An early form of geggenpressing?
1:58:45 Dosu Joseph crying at the end always brings tears to my eyes.... What a moment
Well deserved! This was a fantastic Nigerian team!!!
@@macioluko9484 thank you so much man. I remember how our neighborhood went crazy when Kanu scored. Lol
I will never forget this match In my life..never!
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!
Ikpeba proved he should have played in USA 94 by his performance in this game
THe day NIGERIA AND AFRICA SHOCK THE WORLD,💪🤩🇳🇬
I love how the crowd is cheering for the underdogs
Brazil was playing delay game
That was very interesting 😂😂
This Nigerian squad was no means an underdog. All the players were renowned in their respective clubs in Europe and beyond
@@oluwaseyia8548 against Brazil, Nigeria was the underdog
@@modimmusic9571 no-not after the performance 2 years prior
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
Such a great match. We were so lucky back then. Today is so different.
@1:58:00 I see Bebeto is not too pleased...
Hello Haw Fa My Der
Thanks . Why will you upload a match without commentaries ?The commentaries was one of best things in this Match.
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.
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.
Flying eagle 🦅 not super eagle this is under23
@@francisnwadike9505 this is not flying eagle but super eagle!! Flying is under 20 hope you know? Some players on this match are up to 30 yrs here. You could see them being written on the screen during the match.
I can not forget about this football match
Nigeria were the best team at that time
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 ...
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
An unbelievable skill and brickmanship exhibited by Nigeria;only time will tell!
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.
Finidi wasn't in this team
Great Nigerian Team With The Likes Of Kanu, Amokachi, Okocha, Okechukwu, Ikpeba, Babayaro, Oliseh, West, Babangida, Amuneke And Oruma..
Amokachi was one of the Match winners.not forgetting Uche Okechukwu.
Golden generation of Nigeria 🇳🇬. I watched this game and the finals as a kid and was SO proud of Nigeria
i still believe this the best team Africa has ever produced
Hope is never lost
wow this is so amazing 😍I'm proud of Nigeria i hope they can be like this again🙏
What a great memory that can't be forgotten for africa
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...
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
This was a great performance up up 9ja 🇳🇬👌👍🤔😁😁💪❤️❤️❤️🍷🍾💪
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
One of the greatest African nation vs one of the greatest south America nation.
the build up to Nigeria's first goal was absolutely beautiful
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.
When Nigeria rules the world.
The Best in all our in All our senior football international tournament.
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

Great match! Brazil was the current World Champion (1994). But Nigeria had a great generation too.
The finest of both sides at the time, yeah ...
Falto Romario con el campeonaba brasil
Yes, the current champion, but that means nothing since the team is allowed to have up to three players older than 23 years old.
Nigeria won that Olympic game
2021 during covid19 still reliving this classic olympic match.
Game of the tournament!
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. 🤣
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 !!!
When everything is genuine in football
The best team Nigeria ever got. Beating the Almighty gods of soccer Brazil and Argentina was a great task for Nigeria then.
Remember they also beat Mexico too .
Proudly Nigerian 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
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...
Ja noa mundiais (copa do mundo) nigerianos chegam como eatrelas e terminam no escuridão
¿Sin delantera? Ronaldo y Bebeto. Los mismos que comandaron el ataque dos años más tarde, en Francia 98.
Peruano comeu umas folhas de coca antes de comentar, se ronaldo não é atacante o que é?
Glory africa👏⭐👐👑💐❤
I'm also watching in 2024
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.
A rare moment when Mr. Collina became the 4th official.
Woow I can't forget this day.
I am from Nigerian 🎉🎉🎉
Anyone else watching this game in 2024 ? Let gather here.
See usoo
Here we are
Minuto..1.54.37..el publico coreaba el nombre del mejor jugador que a dado Africa al mundo...KANU...KANU...KANU...KANU..!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
if you are not here to watch Nigeria vs Brasil, GTFO!
