World Cup 2014 Late strikes send France into last eight




France scored twice in the final 11 minutes in Brasilia to beat Nigeria and reach the World Cup quarter-finals. 

Nigeria's Emmanuel Emenike had a strike ruled out for offside before Vincent Enyeama saved Paul Pogba's volley.

Victor Moses cleared Karim Benzema's shot off the line after the break and Yohan Cabaye volleyed against the bar as France pressed.

But Pogba eventually headed in after an Enyeama error and Joseph Yobo diverted Mathieu Valbuena's cross into the net.

France will play Germany, who beat Algeria 2-1 after extra time, in the last eight at the Maracana on Friday.
