Key Moment: Nigeria's best chance to find a match-winner came in the first minute of stoppage time thanks to Shola Ameobi. A smashing header destined for the back of the net was denied and parried safely by the Iranian defense, leaving much to be desired in Curitiba.

Man of the Match: No player was more active for Nigeria than right-back Efe Ambrose. The 25-year-old had the third most touches for the Super Eagles (82), winning two tackles, intercepting three balls and completing 96 percent of his passes.

Lesson Learned: Group F belongs to Argentina. Bosnia-Herzegovina should have little, if any difficulties securing the runner-up spot. The footballing talents both Iran and Nigeria possess are no match for the superior quality of the Group F favorites.

Up Next: Iran travels to Belo Horizonte on June 21 to face Argentina, while Nigeria visits Cuiaba to meet Bosnia-Herzegovina.
