The
Hungarians still qualify, though, as one of the best third-placed teams and
will now kick off the knock-out phase against Group D winners Serbia in

brace.
QUOTES
Manu Garba, Nigeria coach
It was a very good match for us. We wanted to score more, but still I'm happy with the 2-0 result. The Hungarians play more from the wings but we were able to control the game and the outcome. Our next game is against Germany but we are ready for any team, because if we want to be champions we have to be ready for of them.
