| Pogba, Yobo (O.G/P.P) |
France secure their place in the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup thanks to second half goals through Pauk Pogba & a Joseph Yobo own goal.
Francia jugará en los octavos del mundial de fútbol 2014, vencío a Nigeria (2-0), con un gol de Pogba y un gol en propia puerta.
Nigeria push France all the way & give the 1998 World Cup & Euro 2000 winners a few nervous moments along the way but France dig deep to score two relatively late goals to avoid a third consecutive slip up against African opposition in a World Cup match.
· France have kept 3 clean sheets at the 2014 World Cup clean sheets & are the only team to have done so thus far.
– Just 4% seperates the team in terms of possession but France’s pressure takes it’s pressure later on in the second half.
· Nigeria concede a third goal from a set piece at the 2014 World Cup despite keeping back to back clean sheets in their opening games of the 2014 World Cup.
· Nigeria only conceded 2 first half goals in 4 World Cup 2014 matches matches.
– Despite playing good football for large parts of the game and defending well, Nigeria unfortunately only managed 2 shots on target.
– Nigeria have a goal ruled out for offside in the first half.
– France pick up a second consecuive clean sheet at the 2014 World Cup after a good defensive display which seen them defend deep and prevented/limited Nigeria’s pacey players from getting in behind.
– Enyema is forced into making some good saves despite making an error for France’s opening goal, Nigeria are forced into saving two off the line (Moses & Mikel) & Cabaye hits the bar before France make the break through.
· France have now kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 World Cup matches (2010 & 2014.
· France have not conceded a first half goal at the 2014 World Cup & have yet to concede the first goal in any of their games thus far.
