Brasilia, Ramadan 2, 1435, Jun 30, 2014, SPA -- A late strike by Paul Pogba and an own goal by Joseph Yobo gave France a 2-0 victory over Nigeria on Monday and a berth in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. According to dpa, Pogba outjumped the Nigerian defense to head home a 79th minute corner that denied Nigeria a first-ever quarter-final appearance. Yobo bundled the ball into his own net as he attempted to clear in injury time. France now face the winner of the day's later last 16 tie between Germany and Algeria in Porto Alegre. Both teams played fast, attractive football, but the French showed their domination in the later stages, hitting the crossbar and having more of the chances. --SPA 22:37 LOCAL TIME 19:37 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
