  1. Goodbye!

    FT: Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Thank you for joining us. If you're in the UK, I hope you can get a quick nap in before work.

    We will also have coverage of Philippines v Switzerland in Group A (06.00 BST), followed by the opening game of Group C between Spain and Costa Rica (08.30 BST).

    See you then.

  2. ‘Nigeria deserve a point’

    FT: Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Scott Booth

    Lewes FC manager on BBC Two

    You have to say that Nigeria deserved a point there. They stuck to their task. They didn’t create too many chances but did have their moments and were helped out by a good goalkeeper in Chiamaka Nnadozie

  3. Where does that leave Group B?

    Australia lead Group B with three points after beating Republic of Ireland last night. Canada and Nigeria each have a point, with the Irish yet to get off the mark.

    This always looked like one of the most competitive groups at the World Cup and so it is proving to be.

    Next up, Canada face Republic on 26 July, with Nigeria facing the Australians a day later.

  4. Post update

    FT: Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Nigeria will be very much the happier, they fought hard against the Olympic champions and one of the World Cup favourites, and got a hard earned point.

    For Canada, it is disappointment and especially so for Christine Sinclair, who misses the chance to become the first player to score at six Fifa World Cups.

    She was denied by Nigeria keeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, who would be my pick for player of the match. Only 22, she didn't put a foot wrong.

  5. ‘That was a leg-breaker challenge’

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Scott Booth

    Lewes FC manager on BBC Two

    That was a leg-breaker challenge by Deborah Abiodun. That could have been serious. It’s good to see Ashley Lawrence on her feet after that.

  6. FULL-TIME

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    The first stalemate of the World Cup.

  7. YELLOW CARD

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Evelyne Viens, who has been all-action for Canada since coming on, is the latest in the referee's book for a late tackle.

  8. RED CARD

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Abiodun is sent off! It was a late, high tackle on Ashley Lawrence, and a red card is the right result.

    Nigeria must see out the remaining seconds with 10 players.

  9. Video Assistant Referee

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Now we have a VAR check for a possible red card!

    Deborah Abiodun was booked for a late tackle, but could now be in trouble...

  10. Post update

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Pass, pass, pass go Canada.

    Cloe Lacasse's cross, deflected for a corner.

  11. CLOSE!

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Oooh!

    Sophie Schmidt with a hopeful shot from wide on the left, which Chiamaka Nnadozie doesn't really deal with, it bounces off her chest and drops wide.

    Nigeria defend the corner, as we enter last minute winner territory.

  12. Post update

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    We will have more than eight minutes, as Evelyne Viens accidentally stands on Osinachi Ohale's hand.

    Ohale is fine, but that's a painful one.

  13. SUBSTITUTION

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Asisat Oshoala is withdrawn, replaced by Jennifer Echegini. A sign Nigeria are happy to hang on now.

    They will have to hang on for EIGHT minutes added time.

  14. Post update

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Side note, a 0-0 result would be great news for Republic of Ireland - after their defeat to Australia in Group B last night, a draw keeps them in the hunt to progress as a top two finisher.

    On the basis of both games, the Irish should hold no fear of either Canada or Nigeria.

  15. Post update

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Corner Canada, Jordyn Huitema guides a tame header straight at Chiamaka Nnadozie.

    The seconds tick down.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Onumonu comes off for Nigeria, and is replaced by Esther Okoronkwo.

    Five minutes remain. Will we see a winner?

  17. Post update

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    More confusion from a corner, Sheridan again unconvincing on the punch.

    This time she was fouled however, so Canada escape.

  18. SUBSTITUTION

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Canada forward Nichelle Prince is sent on in place of holding midfielder Julia Grosso.

    Bev Priestman is going for this.

  19. GREAT SAVE!

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Kailen Sheridan doesn't know the offside flag will go up - this is a great save!

    It's a dangerous Nigeria break down the right, with a low ball pulled back towards Uchenna Kanu who has space in the box.

    She cuts her shot back across goal, and Sheridan makes a fantastic save with her left foot.

    There was an offside in the build up, but that still feels like a let-off for Canada.

  20. ‘Pressure growing on Canada’

    Nigeria 0-0 Canada

    Scott Booth

    Lewes FC manager on BBC Two

    The longer this game goes, the pressure grows on Canada. If Nigeria get a chance, can they take it?
