Japan won 1-0 over Sweden in their final group stage match of the 2016 Rio Olympic men’s football competition, but it was not enough to see them through to a second straight knockout tournament appearance.

Shinya Yajima scored the lone goal of the encounter in the 65th minute, shortly after relieving Takumi Minamino.

Makoto Teguramori’s men did well to earn their first clean sheet of the Games against their European opposition.

But the result was for naught as Colombia defeated Group B winners Nigeria 2-0, assuring that Japan would finish the stage in third place.
