Nigeria defeated CAF U-23 host Senegal at the Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium by a lone goal via an Etebo Oghenekaro 76th minute penalty.
A delighted Siasia told CAF media that: "I’m very happy to win against Senegal again after the Africa Cup of Nations in 1992 and achieving our objective, which was to qualify for the Olympics."I think the ‘gods of football’ were with my team today because Senegal created most of the chances but they failed to score.
"Emmanuel Daniel (Goalkeeper) kept us in the match as he made some brilliant saves today. On another day, we could’ve been embarrassed.
"We did the best we could because we had lots of injuries heading into this match but I hope that Senegal can qualify to Rio so as to have a strong African representation in Brazil.
"Creating chances and scoring them are different so I’m not concern that we allowed Senegal to have the best chances of the match."
Siasia and his players will host Algeria who defeated South Africa 2-0 in the second semi-final game on Saturday for the ultimate crown.
Recall both teams played a goalless draw when they met in Group B's last game.
