Nigeria created the best chances in the game, hitting the woodwork on two occasions while Nnadozie was relatively on holiday against the Lionesses, who finished the game with 10 players after Lauren James was red-carded late on for a bizarre stamp on Michelle Alozie.

With nothing to separate both sides after extra time, England went on to claim the victory to process to the quarterfinals following the shootout.

Nigeria lost two of their spot kicks while England converted four of theirs to seal the win.

Kelly consoles Nnadozie
England decisive final kick was taken by Manchester City star, Kelly, who left the Nigerian goalkeeper no chance with her effort.

After England’s victory was confirmed, Kelly walked up to a tearful Nnadozie to console her and stopped the FIFAWWC cameraman who tried to film the emotional moment captured by X.com user, Charlotte Patterson.

It was a moment of remarkable sportsmanship from the City star, who was joined in by some of her England teammates.
