VOLGOGRAD, Russia (AFP) — Nigeria moved to within one win of the World Cup’s last 16 as Ahmed Musa scored twice in a dramatic second half to secure a 2-0 victory over Iceland in Volgograd on Friday.
The African side will be sure of a spot in the knockout stage if they can see off Argentina on Tuesday, after Musa’s excellent double before a missed penalty by Iceland midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.
The result was also a boost for Lionel Messi’s Argentina, who are now back in the mix in Group D.
