Brazil beat Nigeria 2-0 and qualified for the round of 16 as first in Group D, in one of the matches played for the third and final date.
Nigeria started better at the La Plata stadium, but Brazil improved as the minutes passed, and in a flurry took advantage with a header from Jean Pedroso (43) and a left-footed touch from Marquinhos (45+2), and thus left without reaction to the African team, who needed at least a draw to finish first, but with this result they fell back to the third step.
In the other Group D match, Italy achieved a logical victory over the Dominican Republic 3-0 (partial 1-0).
With these results, Brazil, Italy and Nigeria advanced respectively to the round of 16 as first, second and third, all with 6 points, but the best difference was for Canarinha (+7), followed by Azzurra (+2), while the Águilas Verdes (+1) at least secured a place among the four best third parties, and the Dominicans left without points.
