Iran hold Nigeria to dour draw

Iran and Nigeria played out the first draw of the 2014 World Cup as their Group F opener ended goalless.
Nigeria dominated possession but created few chances against a disciplined side managed by ex-Manchester United coach Carlos Queiroz.

The Super Eagles' best opportunities came in the first half, when Ogenyi Onazi fired a yard wide before Ahmed Musa went close with a free-kick.
Iran's Reza Ghoochannejad forced a great save from Vincent Enyeama.
The share of the points leaves both teams well placed in the group after Argentina defeated Bosnia-Hercegovina.
