England, number four in the world, faced Nigeria, 36 places below them, but that hardly showed on the pitch as the Super Falcons dominated the explosive round of 16 clash. 

Nigeria created the best chances in the game, hitting the woodwork on two occasions while Nnadozie was relatively on holiday against the Lionesses, who finished the game with 10 players after Lauren James was red-carded late on for a bizarre stamp on Michelle Alozie.
