Nigeria has beaten Iceland 2-0 to bag all three points.

Nigeria’s Ahmed Musa hit the net twice punishing the wasteful Iceland team.

Iceland squandered an opportunity in 82nd minute when Gylfi Sigurdsson missed a penalty as he blasted the ball over the bar.

Nigeria who lost their opening match to Croatia needed a win against Iceland to give themselves an opportunity to proceed in the competition.

The Nigerians play Argentina in the last group stage matches, a game that promises fireworks as the misfiring Lionel Messi would be in full drive to avoid early exit from the tournament.

Argentina drew one all with Iceland in the opening match and suffered a humiliating defeat to Croatia yesterday, going down by 3 goals to nil.
