Nigeria’s Dream Team VI lost their last game in group B at the Rio Olympics games after going down 2-0 to Colombia at the Arena dos Corinthians in Sao Paulo.
Two goals in both half from Gutierrez and Pabon gave the South Americans all three points as they finished second on five points behind Nigeria on six.
Nigeria were also left to play with ten men for the last eight minutes of the game as Oghenekaro Etebo picked up an injury, which now leaves his fitness under questions ahead of the quarter final.
Nigeria qualified for the quarterfinals after beating Asian champions Japan 5-4 on Thursday and edging Sweden 1-0 in Manaus on Sunday.
