Sweden U23 0-1 Nigeria U23: Sadiq Umar heads Eagles into knock out stage

Wonderful head-in from Sodiq Umar

The AS Roma striker made the difference in a game that saw the African champions dominate possession but were unable to score as they reached the quarter finals.

In the second half, Sweden goalie Andreas Linde saved his team more humilation, saving efforts from Etebo twice and Mikel Obi.

Nigeria defeated Sweden 1-0 at the Arena Amazonia in Manaus on Sunday to reach the quarter finals of the 2016 Olympic Games.

Samson Siasia's men dominated the game but could only convert one of their numerous chances via a first half header from Sadiq Umar.
