Marcos Rojo's late volley sent Argentina through to the last 16 of the 2018 World Cup with a dramatic 2-1 victory  over Nigeria.

Milan Badelj and Ivan Perisic scored for the Croats while Gylfi Sigurðsson pulled one back from the spot. Meanwhile, France played to a barren draw with Denmark to top group C with seven points two more than runners-up Denmark .

Another match saw Peru beat Australia 2-0 for their first victory in the tournament in 40 years, as the Aussies crushed out. France will play Argentina while Croatia will tackle Denmark in the last 16 knock out this weekend.
