England edged past Nigeria on penalties to reach the quarter-finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup on Monday morning.
There was nothing to separate the two sides after 120 minutes of play, and the Lionesses emerged 4-2 victors on spot-kicks to progress to the last eight.
Rachel Daly converted her penalty with aplomb to help her side overcome the Nigerians.
Daly was again deployed on the left-hand side from the start of the Round of 16 encounter.
And while England made relatively light work of their group stage opponents, Nigeria caused them plenty of problems on Monday morning.
England did still carry a threat going forward and tested the Nigerian goalkeeper when Arsenal's Alessia Russo struck from distance.
Rachel then saw an effort from a corner parried clear moments later.
Nigeria were giving as good as they were getting, though, and hit the woodwork on numerous occasions.
Our number eight almost scored a goal during the closing stages of normal time but her goalbound header was saved.
Extra time came and went and penalties would decided England's fate on the world stage.
Bayern Munich's Georgia Stanway missed the very first attempt of the shootout but the next four, including one from Rachel, were all converted to keep England's hopes alive.
Their quarter-final will be played against either Colombia or Jamaica on Saturday morning.
