Despite Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of Colombia, Nigeria’s dream team VI still finished Group B winners, while Brazil put in a great performance to top Group A in the final match of the group stage. 
This development means that the Olympic Eagles will not play the hosts in Saturday’s last eight game in Sao Paulo, instead, Nigeria will play Denmark in the quarter finals.
The Group B winners, Nigeria were on collision course with Brazil until the hosts defeated the Denmark 4-0 to emerge Group A winners.
South Africa crashed out after their 1-1 draw with Iraq, leaving Nigeria as Africa’s sole surviving representative in Olympic Football.
The quarter final fixtures are:
Portugal vs Germany
Nigeria vs Denmark
South Korea vs Honduras
Brazil vs Colombia.
All matches will be played on Saturday, August 13, 2016.
