A first half objective by Sadiq Umar has pushed Nigeria through to the quarterfinals of the Rio Olympics after they vanquished Sweden 1-0 for their second win in Group B early Monday morning in Manaus.
They now have the most extreme six focuses from two matches, while Sweden stay on a point from the 2-2 draw with Colombia on the opening day of activity.
On Wednesday, they confront Colombia in their last gathering diversion in Sao Paulo, while Sweden go up against Japan in Salvador.
Dream Team VI merited their triumph and they could even have won by a greater score yet for a progression of first rate spares by Sweden goalkeeper Andreas Linde.
Roma striker Sadiq Umar plunged to head a super cross from the left by Stanley Amuzie past the goalkeeper in the 39th moment for his second objective of the battle.
In this match between mainland champions, the African champions were the brighter of the two, making the greater part of the odds and getting a charge out of a greater amount of the ball.
European champions Sweden were more content to stay back in their own half and dispatch the incidental counters. They barely vexed a guard capably marshaled by William Troost-Ekong.

In the primary half, four-objective legend Oghenekaro Etebo against Japan and Sadiq were toward the end of a large portion of Nigeria's odds however the Sweden goalkeeper Linde pulled off some huge recoveries.
Sadiq was initially denied by the Sweden goalie after only 10 minutes when he went clean on objective.
Etebo then constrained a keen recovery from Linde in the 29th moment, before the goalkeeper tipped his savage shot for a corner two minutes after the fact.
Sweden's lone opening chance in the primary half was in the 23rd moment, however Mikael Ishak cut the half risk off target.
In the 48th moment, goalkeeper Linde flung himself to keep out an objective bound shot by captain Mikel Obi.
Be that as it may, as the amusement wore on, Sweden started to push forward looking for an evening out objective.
Ishak again was included in a decent risk for Sweden in the 75th moment, yet his half volley was distant the imprint.
Twice Sadiq neglected to associate unsafe crosses into the Sweden box and Etebo was precluded his fifth objective from securing the competition in the 76th moment by the goalkeepr, before the Sweden captain Astrit Ajdarevic cut out his group's greatest chance a moment to full time just for Sincere Seth to by one means or another piece it for a corner.
