The French National Team Monday defeated the Nigeria Super Eagles by two goals to nothing in a second round match played at the ongoing FIFA World cup in Brasilia.

Two goals scored in the second half of the Game by Juventus, Paul Pogba and an own goal by Eagles captain gave the French team the victory against the Super Eagles team.

The Stephen Keshi team had showed some resilience in the first half of the game which ended goalless but capitulated in the second half when the French side came out smoking.
