editTrivia
editOn 4 April 1981, before a capacity crowd of 70,000 in Kaduna, Primeiro de Agosto played against then CAN title holders The Green Eagles. In that match that ended in a scoreless draw, D'Agosto put up such a superb performance that the Nigerian supporters and media mistook the club for the Angola national team.[13]
