Half-Time Report : Roma Starlet Gives Nigeria Slim Lead Vs Sweden

Nigeria lead Sweden 1-0 at half time as they look for their second win in a row in the 2016 Rio Olympics Games football event.

Coach Samson Siasia kept faith with the starting XI against Japan for tonight’s game.

Late comer Umar Aminu had to start from the bench, while a defense which gave away four goals against Japan on Friday was also unchanged.

On opening day action, Sweden played out a 2-2 draw with Colombia and Nigeria edged Japan 5-4.

Lanky Sadiq Umar headed the ball into the net from Stanley Amuzie’s left footed cross past goalkeeper Andreas Linde.

The Dream Team VI lead heading into the break as they look to seal their place in the quarter finals of the competition.
