The Nigerian Super Eagles Wednesday evening qualified for the second round of the FIFA 2014 World cup in Brazil despite losing to Argentina three goals to two in a keenly contested last group F encounter.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring in the first half with a ferocious half-volley before Ahmed Musa equalised within 80 seconds with a delightful curling finish.
Messi made it two goals to one before the break with a 25-yard free-kick, but Ahmed Musa grabbed his second when he fired in low.
Marcos Rojo scored the winner for Argentina when he knocked in a corner ball with his knee.
The result means Argentina finish top of Group F with three wins from three games, while the African champions qualify in second with four points after Iran lost one to three goals to Bosnia-Hercegovina.
