The Spanish beach soccer team on Sunday defeated Nigeria 6-5 to clinch the 2017 COPA Lagos Beach Soccer tournament in a thrilling final played at the Eko Atlantic City in Lagos.

It is Spain’s first ever COPA Lagos title as they subjected the Sand Eagles to another final defeat following the Nigerians’ loss to Switzerland in last year’s final.

Both Spain and the Sand Eagles went into the game undefeated after winning their previous two games in this year’s tournament.

In the first period Spain went in front twice with goals from Llorenc and Eduard Molina but Emeka Ogbonna and Ekuitmi Eganosi brought the Sand Eagles back on two occasions to end the first period 2-2.

The second period saw the Sand Eagles go 3-2 up but Molina equalised to bring Spain back in the game to 3-3.

Molina once again got on the score sheet to put Spain 4-3 up but Abu Azeez drew the Sand Eagles back level before the game ended 6-5 in favour of the Spain.
