2018 FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA. FT. NIGERIA 2, ICELAND 0
Ahmed Musa and the Super Eagles exposed Iceland's players in the second half, catching them creeping up on offense and then unleashing quick counterattacks. Iceland, meanwhile, didnt seem to have much strategy apart from set pieces, and those were in the short supply over the final 45 minutes. Gylfi Sigurdson's ham-footed penalty shot didnt help, either.
The result not only gives Nigeria a crucial three points; it also gives new life to Argentina. The two teams meet on Tuesday. Iceland will need to beat Croatia to have any hope.
