All over.

Mathieu Valbuena sends a low ball into the area from the right towards Antoine Griezmann, who is lurking dangerously at the near post. He misses it completely, though, and it slices in off Joseph Yobo's boot as he attempts to hack clear.

Another burst of La Marseillaise from the French fans. Five minutes of added time.

Mark, Berkshire: Now Nigeria need to wake up or go home.

The Brazil fans in Estadio Nacional are willing Nigeria forward. But even after winning the support of the neutrals, it looks all over for the Africans unless there is a dramatic twist.

"France have looked tired and devoid of ideas. But Pogba has been instrumental."

Chris Gilbert:, external It's a pity it was Vincent Enyeama's mistake that ultimately caused the goal. He's been otherwise fantastic.

Nigeria are heading for more last-16 heartache. They were beaten at this stage in 1994 and 1998. Can a green shirt conjure up an equaliser? Four minutes remaining.

France are six minutes from the quarter-finals.

Nigeria's defence is creaking. Antoine Griezmann lashes towards the net but Vincent Enyeama sticks out a huge hand.

Ben Moore:, external France ahead. It had been coming for the last 10-15 minutes.

"Victor Enyeama came out and flapped at it. I think he recognised his defence is struggling to deal with set plays but he should have got a solid fist on it. A simple header in the end."

"That's a massive error from the goalkeeper. He's flapped at the cross, it's a poor, weak attempt of a punch. So disappointing."

France move up a gear and Nigeria cannot cope.

After two near misses, Les Bleus find the net after Vincent Enyeama flaps at a cross and Paul Pogba is well placed to head home.

It's cruel on Nigeria, who have played so well. But there's still time for them to haul themselves back.

Antoine Griezmann has lifted France since replacing Giroud.

If this match is to be decided in extra time then his presence could be valuable.

Fifteen minutes of normal time left.

A weary shot from Karim Benzema falls well wide of the net.

This game is crying out for a hero. Who will step forward?

"That was the best moment of the game. A lovely one-two between Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann and a great save. Victor Moses gets back and provides good cover for his defence. Vincent Eneyeama was a little unlucky because it was a good save but it bounced backwards.

"There has been so much talk about fallout over bonuses but Nigeria do seem really together here. Great play by Moses."

Victor Moses has only had one touch in his own box so far. Not a bad one, though, was it?

Rob Porter:, external Horrible leg-breaker from Blaise Matuidi. Should have seen red. Ogenyi Onazi is lucky if his ankle isn't broken.

Peter Malath:, external This is the kind of game where I wish I could make Jay-Jay Okocha young again and bring him back.

Stuart Dillon:, external For a team with ambitions to the win the World Cup, France certainly have to up their game.
