FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup
Having opened their campaign with an emphatic 5-0 win over New Caledonia, China PR will feel they could have taken maximum points after twice being denied by the crossbar.
The East Asian side almost made the perfect start when Li Chenyu rattled the woodwork after just 82 seconds as China PR immediately took the game to their African opponents.
Nigeria, looking to bounce back from their opening defeat to Spain, gradually settled into the contest with Seimeyeha Janet Akekoromowei proving a constant threat, but China PR's defence stood firm.
China PR continued to look dangerous after the break and were denied by the woodwork for a second time when Xue Sifan's effort struck the crossbar.
Neither side, however, could find the breakthrough as China PR followed up their impressive opening victory with another point.
The East Asian side remain firmly on course for a place in the knockout stage as they seek to advance beyond the group phase for the first time since reaching the final in 2006. They will face already-qualified Spain next on Saturday.
Nigeria, meanwhile, kept alive their hopes of maintaining their record of reaching the knockout stage at every edition since the inaugural tournament in 2002, with the Falconets to face New Caledonia next.
