    That's all from us tonight, thanks for joining us.
    90+10'
    Indeed it is. That's it, the whistle blows. The Nigeria keeper lies devastated in her goal. They will now wait to see if 3 points is enough to see them through to the next stage of the tournament.
    90+10'
    A free kick now and that'll probably be about it...
    90+10'
    Renard heads the ball away and there's a collision between Geyoro and Chikwelu. Chikwelu is given a yellow card for her efforts and both she and Ebere will miss the next stage should Nigeria progress.
    90+8'
    Kanu's legs are hacked down outside the area, a free kick for Nigeria now.
    90+3'
    EIGHT MINUTES of added time to be played.
    90+1'
    Kanu comes on for Oparanozie now.
    89'
    A substitution for France as they bring on Geyoro to replace Thiney.
    85'
    Nigeria will make a substitution now. Ordega and Oshoala are coming off to be replaced by Nwabuoku and Imo.
    80'
    GOAL! This time it's in. Top right corner of the net, job done. Hard not to feel terrible for Nigeria.
    79'
    Renard will take it again.
    78'
    The goalie was off her line! Massive drama! The penalty will be retaken!
    77'
    SAVE! Unbelievably bad luck for Renard who caps off her own goal in the last match by missing the penalty.
    75'
    RED CARD! Ebere who has already had a yellow card is given a second and she's off.
    75'
    And it's a penalty. France have done well out of these.
    74'
    Asseyi went down too easily there, and I have to say, I think she has several times this evening.
    74'
    Asseyi goes down again, this time in the penalty area. The referee doesn't think it's a foul, but of course we go through the inevtiable VAR dramz.
    73'
    Renard fires Thiney's corner over the goal again. And adding insult to injury, she's fouled another player while doing so. Tricky not to when you're about a foot taller than every other player. mind.
    71'
    Nigeria are defending extremely well. But if anyone is going to score tonight, it's got to be France. I'm not convinced they can see this one out.
    65'
    Nigeria are forced to defend another Thiey corner and Oshoala does exactly that. Majri fires the rebounding ball but it's straight into the keeper's arms.
