Nigeria needed a win to keep up hope of qualifying for the 2006 FIFA World Cup which held in Germany.

Obafemi Martins grabbed a hattrick in the game before goals from Christian Obodo and John Utaka sealed the win.

The Super Eagles, however, could not qualify as Angola won on that match-day to head the group on goal difference.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will on Saturday, November 12 take on Algeria again in World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
