2014 World Cup - Round of 16 - France vs Nigeria
France 2 vs Nigeria 0 - "Nigeria will be lucky to score...as France advance to play Germany."
The Super Eagles did not score in a game that was not aesthetically pleasing and where the score was deceiving. Did that rhyme?
The Nigerians had their moments, pestering the French for the 1st 65 minutes with French backstop LLoris making a couple of nice saves.
From 65' on Les Blues dominated knocking on the door in a very serious manner five times in the span of 15 minutes, only to be denied by the Super Eagles goalie Enyeama...
a full back clearing at an open goal mouth and the goal post stopping a thunderbolt which Cabaye unleashed across goal from 20 yd, only to clatter off the underside to safety.
At 79' from 7 yards out, Pogba finally headed a corner kick which Enyeama had weakly palmed rather than punch, into the back of the net.
A late low cross deflected off Yobo resulting in an own goal at 90' as the French sighed Merci Beaucoup. France advance to probably face Germany unless Algeria pull off the upset of the cup.
