Super Eagles Swoop On Spain: Spain v Nigeria, 13 June 1998 On June 13, 1998, Nigeria delivered a tactical masterclass in resilience against Spain. Despite Spain’s clinical distribution—highlighted by Raúl’s 47th-minute volley—Nigeria maintained a 50% conversion rate on key chances. The match turned in the final 20 minutes; Garba Lawal capitalized on a defensive error to equalize, followed by Sunday Oliseh’s strike which clocked significant velocity from outside the area. This result marked Spain’s first opening-game loss since 1994 and solidified Nigeria's status as a global powerhouse in the late 90s..
