Super Eagles winger, Ahmed Musa, yesterday turned out as the hero for Nigeria in a five-goal thriller with Argentina at Porto Alegre.
Musa netted two goals for Nigeria who eventually lost 3-2 to the Argies, although the Eagles still qualified for the Round of 16 where they will now meet Les Bleus of France on Monday.
Nigeria started the encounter in virtual disarray while trying to size up the Argentines.
But it took inspirational Lionel Messi only three minutes to intimate the Nigerians of the storm ahead when he rifled a stray ball on his path just outside the Nigerian box.
Musa responded 40 seconds after, curling in a well-weighted pass from Michael Babatunde who raced from the Nigerian half. Musa did well to beat on rushing Argentina defender Pablo Zabaleta before the ball rested in the net.
Enyeama failed to stop Messi on the stroke of 45 minutes as he scored his second goal of the day, cleverly playing in a free kick that sent the Eagles’ goalie confused as he watched the ball sail into his net.
Two minutes after break, however, Musa leveled score to give Nigeria any hope of recording an upset result. Five minutes later, Argentina defender, Marcos Rojo, was teed up to score the third goal for his team.
Meanwhile, Bosnia rose on the last day to a 3-1 win over Iran to take three points home after losing the first two games. Both nations failed to progress to the Round of 16 after ending at three and one points respectively. So, who do you think will beat in the Nigeria-France upcoming match? Use the comment box.
