CSKA Moscow striker, Ahmed Musa was however the star of the match after his two superb goals gave the Nigerian side the much needed win at the Volgograd Arena in Russia. His 49th and 75th minute brace renewed Nigeria’s hope at the competition.
The improved Nigerian side were the better of the two teams as Iceland who frustrated all efforts in the first half of the game gave in eventually in the second half to Musa’s theartrics. Iceland also had a chance to return a goal in the 82nd minute via a penalty kick but it was badly taken by attacking midfielder, Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Nigeria plays against Argentina next and must win or get a good draw to stand a chance of qualifying to the next round of the mundial.
