Nigeria book Beijing berth

Victor Anichebe
Everton's Victor Anichebe scored on his debut to take Nigeria to Beijing

A 3-0 win for Nigeria over South Africa in Abuja has given the so-called "Dream Team" the final African slot at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Goals from Taye Taiwo and debutant Victor Anichebe, plus a South African own goal, gave Nigeria victory.

The result means they top the group by a point from Ghana, who were not playing.

Ivory Coast and Cameroon are the other African teams to have secured places at the Olympics.

Anichebe came on as a second-half substitute, making a long-awaited first appearance in a Nigerian shirt.
