Oduamadi became the first African player to net a hat-trick in the tournament after finding the net in the 10th, 26th and 76th minute at the Estádio Mineirão, Belo Horizonte.

Five other Nigerian players have scored in the Confederations Cup : Amokachi, Mutiu Adepoju, John Obi Mikel, Emmanuel Amuneke and Elderson Echiejile.
