Had nothing to do with Odegbamo my brother, the whole game was played in the half on the Egyptians, Shooting was never, I repeat never in trouble in the entire 90 minutes bar the moment of madness that can be attributed to lack of action from Raymond in goal, who now decided to give himself something more interesting to do by making that mad dash. So relaxed was the defence that Ogbein too felt all he needed to do was to flick one of the numerous clearances by the Egyptians back to his keeper without even checking where he was. The rest is history being retold 35 years after, how Shooting crashed out.

The Super Eagles on their best day probably can pull a fraction of that crowd today. :(
