Siasia started with the same starting eleven that played the match
against Japan but Umar Aminu had to start from the bench.
Nigeria
passed the ball with a lot of confidence and swagger in the opening
exchanges of the keenly contested battle and fans were surprised that
they couldn't score so early on in the game.
Umar
Sadiq was denied by the goalkeeper after he broke free, Oghenekaro
Etebo followed up from the rebound shot but the goal didn’t arrive after
nine minutes.
Despite Nigeria's heavy
presence on the ball and dictatorship of play, they didn't pose much of a
goal threat and were almost pegged back when Mikael Ishak fired at goal
from a long ball which exposed the Nigeria defence but goalkeeper
Emmanuel saved the ball.
Highest goalscorer
Etebo was denied time and time again by goalkeeper Andreas Linde but
Umar Sadiq gave Nigerians the much needed joy when Umar headed the ball into the net from Stanley Amuzie’s left footed cross past goalkeeper goalkeeper Linde.
Mikel
Obi, who had a wonderful performance as a number 10 had a rocketing
shot saved by goalkeeper Linde. Sweden tried to pile the pressure
towards the end of the match and almost got an equalizer in the 90th
minute, but Siasia's men held on for the win which will send them to the
quarterfinal of the competition.
