Liverpool Ladies' Asisat Oshoala was unable to prevent Nigeria from suffering a 2-0 defeat against Australia at the Women's World Cup.

The midfielder started the encounter and featured for 84 minutes in Winnipeg, having found the net in the previous fixture.

But her country trailed by two goals at the time of her departure this time, with Kyah Simon grabbing a brace for their opponents.

The result leaves Oshoala and Nigeria requiring a positive result when they meet USA in their final game of Group D next week.
