Sokari scored an audacious goal on Wednesday as Nigeria subdued Ghana 2-0 in their opening game in Group B.
The Enyimba man nonchalantly lobbed past the Ghana goalkeeper, Richard Ofori in the 87th minute at Stade Municipal de Kintélé, Brazzaville as the Dream Team VI stormed to the top of the Group.
“I am happy I scored but the most important thing was the victory for the team. We want to win the Gold at the All Africa Games,” Sokari said.”
Next up for the Dream Team VI is another Group B game against Senegal on September 12 and Sokari says they cannot afford to be lulled into a false sense of security ahead of the fixture.
“We know Senegal are strong but we will trust the tactics of our coaches and try to play to instruction.
“I know that we will not underrate them. Hopefully we will win the game and qualify for the semi-finals,” he said.
Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal are the three teams in Group B as Egypt-the fourth country in the group-withdrew before the tournament kicked off.
The top two sides in the group will qualify for the semi-finals.
