Nigeria booked their place in the Olympics final after thrashing Belgium 4-1 on Tuesday.

Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi scored a brace (17, 59) to give the Super Eagles a flying start. Olubayo Adefimi (72) and Chibuzor Okonkwo (87) scored each a goal to complete the rout while Laurent Ciman (87) scored Belgium's consolation goal.

Nigeria will face Argentina, who rolled Brazil 3-0, in the final game next Saturday.

It's a deja vu of the African giants' meeting with Argentina in the final of the Atlanta 1996 games, which the Nigerians won.
