1. Nigeria had to thank Vincent Enyeama and Victor Moses, who defended the goal brilliantly with saves and clearances
2. Despite the brilliant goalkeeping, Enyeama came out too far for a corner and was punished by Paul Pogba, who headed into an empty net
3. Nigeria needed to score in 10 minutes or else they get knocked out, and they did! But it was an unfortunate own goal
