Results of the last Group F game between Chile and Thailand favoured Nigeria's progress to the Round of 16 and football enthusiasts have taken to social media to shower praise on the Asian country for not conceding more than two goals on Thursday.
Having conceded five goals in their matches against the United States and Sweden, Chile needed to score three goals in order to advance to the next round with a better goal difference than the Super Falcons.
But Thailand held their ground for a goalless first-half and ensured the South Americans did not score more than two goals after the restart.
