Sadiq Umar’s goal was the difference as Samson Siasia’s side booked a place in the quarter final of the men’s football tournament.
Umar headed home a cross from Amuzie to score the only goal of the game as the Dream team move further to relive the Nigeria Olympics men football Team of 1996 – who won Gold at Atlanta’96.
Nigeria’s top scorer Oghenekaro Etebo and Sadiq Umar came close to adding to Nigeria’s advantage but for the heroics of the Sweden goalie Andreas Linde, who ensured the West Africans did not further humiliate them.
