The first half ended with both teams having a lot of chances to score, and the game was undecided.

This only lasted until the 79th minute, however, as Paul Pogba, after an unsuccessful exit from the Nigerian goalkeeper, sent the ball flying in the back of the net with a good header.

Things only got worse for Nigeria, as Nigerian national Joseph Yobo scored an own goal on the 90th minute, “sealing” his team’s fate.
