'That screamer had all of us screaming' — Fans relive Super Eagles' iconic 3-2 triumph over Spain at the 1998 World Cup

Sunday Oliseh scored the winner when Nigeria beat Spain 3-2 at the 1998 FIFA World Cup

It's a match that will forever be etched in the memories of Nigerian football fans. The Super Eagles, led by Serbian tactician Bora Milutinović, staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Spain 3-2 at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes, France.

Fernando Hierro's sublime free kick gave Spain an early lead, but Mutiu Adepoju's powerful header from a corner kick levelled matters for the Super Eagles.

Raúl Gonzalez restored Spain's advantage with a stunning volley, only for Andoni Zubizarreta's own goal to peg them back again.

The winner came in the 78th minute, courtesy of a breathtaking strike from Sunday Oliseh. The victory not only sealed Nigeria's place in the round of 16 but also cemented their status as Group D winners.

Twenty-six years on, this thrilling encounter remains one of the most celebrated performances by an African team at the FIFA World Cup, and its memory continues to inspire Nigerian football enthusiasts.
