Brazil draw again in Olympics and other games roundup

Brazil 0:0 Iraq. Neymar & Co held again.

Brazil were once again held to a goalless stalemate by tournament minnows Iraq in Brasilia in the ongoing 2016 Olympics.

Rogerio Micale's men were widely expected to take apart the Middle East nation in the second Group A game following their opening goalless draw against South Africa but Iraq made life difficult for Neymar and Co as they held them back for the entire game to get a crucial point for themselves.


The last group game for the South Americans comes up on Wednesday against Denmark with a win non-negotiable to ensure their progress to the next round.


Nigeria secured their progression to the knockouts with a well deserved victory against Group B opponents Sweden. AS Roma's Sadiq Umar headed in the game's only goal as the 2008 runner-ups put in a display worthy of applause
