The African nation kick-started their World Cup bid - and it's Argentina next for the Super Eagles. Ahmed Musa was restored to Nigeria's starting XI with devastating effect as he scored both goals to help them resuscitate their World Cup hopes.

Left out of his country's opening Group D game at the tournament in Russia, Musa showed his worth with two outstanding strikes that put the Africans back in contention for a second round place.

The opening goal, soon after a drab first half, saw him pluck the ball out of the air with his first touch before blasting it home.

The second goal came in the 75th minute, when after a break down the wing, Musa cut inside and waltzed around the goalkeeper before firing the ball into the net.
