A late goal from Japan put the scoreline at 5-4, with the Asian champions hoping that they could achieve more, but it was too late as the final whistle came from the referee after 5 minutes added time which guaranteed Nigeria’s success.

Technically both teams were weak in defense, leading to high number of goals, but the attack of both sides lived up to expectations, making good use of the chances created.

Nigeria are now on top of group B with three points and are expected to play Sweden on Sunday, while Colombia will face Japan.
