The Australians who struggled to cope with the pace and trickery of Manu Garba’s boys however took the lead against the run of play in the 14th minute with Botic slotting home off a perfect cross.

The lead lasted only seven minutes before Olawale restored parity with a fine effort from inside the box.

Botic however converted from the spot in the 54th minute.

In the the other Group B match, Ecuador beat Hungary 3-2 in a tough contest at the Estadio Olimpico Goiania to book their spot in the Round of 16.

Hungary scored first through Andras Nemeth in the 50th minute before Ecuador’s Pedro Vite and John Mercado netted two quick goals in the 66th and 68th minutes respectively to take 2-1 lead.

Nemeth completed his brace for Hungary when he drew level in the 73rd minute. Then Johan Mina grabbed an 86th minute winner for the South Americans

Ecuador finish second on six points as Nigeria but with interior goals difference, and claimed a Round of 16 spot.

Australia are third on four points, and they are in good stead to reach the round of 16 as one of the four best third-placed teams.
