Rio Olympics: After Colombia's Defeat Nigeria Faces Denmark In Quarter Final

The Nigeria U-23 team will now face Denmark in the quarter final of the Rio Olympics Men's Football event after the Dream Team VI lost their last group game 2-0 to Colombia in Sao Paulo early Thursday.

The south Americans were clinical as an early first half goal by captain Teofilo Gutierrez and a second half penalty from Dorlan Pabon prove to be enough.

Dream Team VI manager Samson Siasia as expected rested some key players but surprisingly started Captain John Mikel and top scorer Oghenekaro Etebo after already scoring top spot even before the Colombia math.

The win over Nigeria earned Colombia a quarter final slot against the host country Brazil as they finished second in Group B with five points while the Dream Team VI topped the log with six point and will travel to Salvador on Saturday to play Denmark.
