Nigeria have beaten Australia in Ireland's group.

Co-hosts Australia have been beaten by Nigeria in their Group B clash at the Women's World Cup. 

Emily van Egmond and Uchenna Kanu scored for each side in first half injury time.

Two second strikes from Asisat Oshoala and Osinachi Ohale gave the Nigerian's a 3-1 lead, before Alanna Kennedy bagged a consolation and the game finished 3-2. 

Earlier today, Portugal kept their hopes of a place in the last 16 alive thanks to a 2-0 win over Vietnam in Group E. 

Goals in the first half from Telma Encarnação and Francisca Nazareth was enough for the three points. 

In the same group, the United States and the Netherlands played out a 1-1 draw. 

Jill Roord gave then Dutch a first half lead, before Lindsey Horan's strike rescued a point for the holders. 

The Republic of ireland will complete their World Cup campaign against Nigeria on Monday, after their 2-1 defeat to Olympic champions Canada yesterday meant they can no longer qualify for the knockout stages.
