Nigeria beats Iceland, does Argentina a favor; Switzerland beats Serbia
Ahmed Musa gave Nigeria its first win at this year’s World Cup, and gave Argentina a gift.
Musa scored two second-half goals to help the Nigerians beat Iceland 2-0 Friday in Volgograd, Russia, and move into second place in the group behind already-qualified Croatia.
Nigeria will face Argentina in its final group match on Tuesday in St. Petersburg. If Nigeria wins, it will advance to the round of 16. But if Argentina claims all three points, it can still advance depending on the result of the other match between Croatia and Iceland.
However, don’t pencil in Argentina yet against Nigeria. Musa, Nigeria’s all-time leading World Cup scorer with four, has played well against Argentina.
