KOBE -- Sweden moved one step closer to the next round after rallying to a 2-1 win over Nigeria in their Group F clash on Friday afternoon at Kobe Wing Stadium.

The result gives Sweden four points and ensured that Nigeria was knocked out of the World Cup, after it suffered its second loss.

While the Swedish players and coaches were celebrating their win with hugs and high-fives, the Nigerian players slowly and disappointedly walked off the field.
