There are 17,988 inside the Stade des Alpes - that's almost a full house at the 20,068-capacity venue in Grenoble.

An impressive turnout!

Nigerian forward Chinwendu Ihezuo is hurt and she is currently being treated on the pitch, while a stretcher is being prepared.

Chinaza Uchendu is about to come on in her place.

A brilliant through ball to Carolin Simon finds the German in space on the left. Her first cross is blocked and her second headed comfortably away.

It falls to Alexandra Popp on the edge of the area but she blasts a half-volley way, way wide. It's almost out for a throw-in!

Svenja Huth goes charging down the left and pulls off a decent cross which has to be headed behind for a corner.

It's swung in towards the back post but Alexandra Popp doesn't connect properly with her attempted volley.

Lina Magull is being replaced by 17-year-old Lena Oberdorf for Germany. What can the teenager do here?

Francisca Ordega wins the ball in her own half then runs directly down the left wing, attacking Klara Buhl.

She beats her and is dragged back by the German, who isn't shown a yellow card.

Prince Gyimah: Nigeria have been very disappointing so far in this tournament. Very lethargic, unable to string decent passes together, and wasteful in font of goal. They don't deserve to progress any further than this stage.

Uchenna Kanu has been very bright up front for Nigeria but her final ball has just been the wrong one.

Germany go up the other end and play it long for Lea Schuller to chase but left-back Osinachi Ohale tracks back and just gets her body in the way.

What a game Ohale is having. Composed and solid.

Desire Oparanozie comes clattering into Alexandra Popp. That's the fourth yellow card of this match and there's still half an hour to go!

Blue skies, jaw-dropping backdrops, exciting football...I L-O-V-E this Women's World Cup.

Francisca Ordega's pass is sloppy in midfield and Germany can counter quickly. Lina Magull pulls off a cheeky backheel in the box, laying it off to Giulia Gwinn.

The full-back takes a touch before striking but it's always rising and flies way over the bar.

Svenja Huth is the latest player to be booked for a late challenge on Chidinma Okeke.

Sara Dabritz, who has been very quiet despite scoring, has a shot from long-range but it's blocked.

Full-back Giulia Gwinn's effort from the resulting corner lacks pace and is an easy save for the keeper.

Kate Blanchfield: I thought VAR would be a great help for referees trying to see through player theatrics. But it seems like even watching the same replays we don't all agree on the rules of the game.

Uchenna Kanu does well to turn on the edge of the box but she has another touch instead of letting rip and the chance to shoot goes begging.

Richard Cohen: The refs are coming in for some unfair criticism in this tournament. Most of the things people don't like are just the officials correctly implementing what Fifa are telling them to do. Can't blame the refs for the rule book.

What a chance that was! She then wins a corner and heads the resulting set-piece wide. Talk about making an early impression...

Teenage substitute Rasheedat Ajibade almost creates a goal for Nigeria, single-handedly. She charges down the left, beating the defender with pure pace and skill.

Her delivery is fired across the face of the goal and a sliding Desire Oparanozie is INCHES away from connecting at the back post.
