Nigeria have joined France and Norway on three points, rekindling hope of a chance to make it through to the last 16 of the competition.
But it all looks pretty grim for Korea Republic with zero point. Korea will need to beat the Norwegians, and likely beat them convincingly, to have a chance of advancing.
