Rio Olympics Live Stream – Sweden vs Nigeria
Ngeria’s Dream Team the u23 squad and one of the nation’s medal hopes of the Olympic squad as a whole will be looking to improve on an incredible 5-4 victory over Japan on Thursday as they face Sweden.
The Dream Team have great difficulty defending, especially a lead, as they repeatedly squandered leads in the opening 45 minutes and nearly let a three-goal advantage slip in the second half after goals from Arsenal’s latest recruit Takuma Asano and Musashi Suzuku made for a rather nervy end to what was a thoroughly entertaining match.
Sweden, on the other hand, played a much more measured affair, which still boasted four goals, a 25 yard beauty from Ishak and both sides lamenting what could have been after a hot and humid affair in Manaus.
A win for Nigeria will all but seal their progress to the next round, a feat that the squad should be proud of achieving while the Swedish team will be sitting on only a point and their African counterparts leading the group on three, it is essential that the Scandinavian’s win on Sunday if they have any hopes of qualification.
