Nigeria were crowned champions yesterday after winning the Fifa Beach Soccer World Cup 2007 Qualifier in Durban.

Experienced Garbile Agu scored five goals to send the west African country to Brazil later this year.

He was also on hand to cross for Suleman Usman to score the winner four minutes from the end.

The game was more of a contest between the two bull strikers, Agu and former Jomo Cosmos striker Mamadou Diallo for Senegal. The burly Diallo scored three goals but it was just not enough. - Canaan Mdletshe
