World Cup: Nigeria Super Eagles qualify for second round

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.
