World Cup 2018: All to play for in Group D, as Musa’s brace secure vital win for Super Eagles
The Super Eagles have put themselves in pole position to grab the second slot to the next round from their group with a 2-0 victory over Iceland.
Croatia has already clinched one of only two slots for teams which will qualify from the group, after a shocking but emphatic victory over Argentina Thursday night.
Ahmed Musa grabbed a brace to boost Nigeria’s chances, becoming the first scorer for the country at the World Cup since 2014.
Nigeria’s last goal in a World Cup game was four years ago, courtesy former Super Eagles striker Osaze Odemwingie.
The Super Eagles are the only second African team to record a win at the 2018 World Cup after Senegal.
Argentina, who are with just a point after the first two games, will play Nigeria on Tuesday in a decisive match.
