Rio 2016: Sadiq scores to secure victory for Nigeria

Young Giallorossi star Sadiq Umar scored a 40th-minute header to hand three points to Nigeria against Sweden in their second Group B match of the Olympic men's football tournament.

Thanks to the 1-0 victory on Sunday evening, Nigeria now stand on six points and have already earned qualification to the quarter-final stage at Rio 2016 as group winners.

It was the 19-year-old's second goal in two games at the tournament after he also broke the deadlock in the Super Eagles' 5-4 win over Japan last Thursday.
