MANAUS, BRAZIL – AUGUST 07: Umar Sadiq player of Nigeria scores his first goal during 2016 Summer Olympics match between Sweden and Nigeria at Arena Amazonia on August 7, 2016 in Manaus, Brazil. 

Nigeria’s Dream Team VI stay winning at the 2016 Olympic Games going on in Rio, Brazil.

Last Thursday, they beat Japan 5-4 after landing from a 7-hour journey few hours before the start of the game.

They’ve made us proud again today by beating their Swedish counterparts and qualifying for the quarterfinals of the tournament.

The only goal of the game came from Sadiq Umar in the 40th minute.

Congrats to Coach Samson Siasia and the team!
