Argentina-Nigeria, the final today will define the Olympic champion, is a party which is slowly taking the classic category. The stadium will stage Bird Nest on the third final that both teams will play in a span of 12 years. In the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Nigeria, led by Nwankwo Kanu, won 3-2 with a goal in the last minute.
In the U-20 World Netherlands 2005, Argentina took revenge and beat the Nigerians 2-1 with two goals from Lionel Messi.

But there is also another Argentina-Nigeria marked in history, and was in the World Cup USA 1994 when Diego Maradona was caught in doping control. That match was won by South Americans, also 2 to 1, with two goals from Claudio Caniggia, but went down in history for the positive ephedrine that suffered by the exastro of world football.
