With two draws and one victory, precisely in the previous match against Australia, Nigeria advanced from the Group Stage, leaving behind Canada and their Monday rival, Ireland, who finished at the bottom of the group.
After their great performance in the previous match, the Nigerian players showed a different face and failed to convince, as they lacked many offensive variations to damage Ireland's goal.
Despite the goalless draw, now the team will focus on the Round of 16 to regain their momentum and aspire to be among the top eight teams in the World Cup.
