Nigeria
moved up to second in Group D and helped Argentina out by beating Iceland 2-0
on Friday. Leicester
striker Ahmed Musa scored both goals as Super Eagles had to avoid defeat in
Volgograd to keep their World Cup hopes alive.
Musa broke
deadlock early in the second half with a fine finish following a move on the
counter-attack.The former Kano Pillars striker doubled Nigeria's lead after
bursting into box and taking the ball round the goalkeeper.
Iceland's
Gylfi Sigurdsson blazed over a penalty kick late on after it was given through
consultation with VAR.
The result
has set up an exciting end to the group as Nigeria are on three points with
Iceland and Argentina both on one.
