Bologna moved up to fourth place in the Serie A standings after beating struggling Hellas Verona at home on Friday.

Nigeria did just enough to hold Ireland to a scoreless tie at , a result that sends Nigeria on to the knockout round. Ireland's time in the Women's World Cup comes to a close. Here are the top moments! Ireland 0, Nigeria 0. Nnadozie continued to own the net, making the right call to venture off her line and end Ireland's attack in the box.

Uchenna Kanu read the flight of the ball perfectly to apply a downward header, only for Courtney Brosnan to stoop low — Gordon Banks style — and turn the ball onto the crossbar. Stalemate then for Ireland on a frustrating night when their aim of completing the trip Down Under on a high went awry. Speculation of tension between Vera Pauw and her players was only fuelled by a clear plea from her captain Katie McCabe to freshen things up. Pauw is now officially out of contract and ever increasingly likely to lose her job when the FAI get around to that post-tournament review they place so much store in. They enjoyed their share of the half-chances in a scrappy game played before a half-full Laing Park but were unable to profit from the shakiness of Chamaka Nnadozie in goal for the Africans. As opposed to the throw-in from which they conceded the Canada winner on Wednesday, Ireland almost pocketed a goal from similar means on five minutes. Heather Payne, passed fit again but able to survive the warm-up this time, crossed for Sinead Farrelly to lay the ball into the path of the marauding McCabe. A free-flowing Ireland captain is a menace to any defence but her trademark left boot arrowed her yarder marginally off-target.

Courtney Brosnan on that save: Yeah I think obviously an unbelievable cross into the box, I knew I needed to make a special save, I just threw my body on it, I wanted to keep us in the game. We need to get there to score, we have done that so much better than the early games. I think we can be really proud, we have had equal games against top 10 nations. Those players came out as very good players, they come out as world stars. They will get more contracts and opportunities and the next generation can step in. But Ireland get their first ever point of the World Cup against strong opposition. Nigeria lacked much ambition once word got around about the score in Australia-Canada.
