Rio Live Stream – Colombia vs Nigeria
The Dream Team VI,Nigeria’s Olympic football campaign continues with their last Group B fixture against Colombia at the Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo today.
Nigeria has earned two wins from two games and the Siasia tutored side have established an unassailable lead at the top of the standings and will advance to the quarterfinal as group winners.
This game, a mere formality for the Nigerian side will see Siasia rest some key men to keep them fresh for a potential knockout round tie against hosts Brazil.
For Colombia, this is an important must-win clash if they are to advance beyond the group stage.
Los Cafeteros sit in second place with two points, but know that only a win will suffice if they are to fend off the threat of Japan and Sweden, both of whom have one point apiece.
Carlos Restrepo’s side are unbeaten in their last ten games, and armed with the firepower provided by their captain Teofilo Gutierrez, are more than capable of testing Nigeria’s unsure defence.
