Nigeria stunned Iceland in the second group stage fixture for both sides on Friday, with a brilliant Ahmed Musa scoring twice to lead the Super Eagles to a 2-0 victory.

Iceland, finding themselves in the rare position of being the favoured side at an international tournament, couldn’t handle the pace of Musa and his attacking colleagues, while Nigeria’s midfield and defence nullified their opposition’s attacking threat.

Everton star Gylfi Sigurdsson missed a late penalty that could have sparked a comeback, or at the very least mitigated the damage to Iceland’s goal difference.

The result leaves Nigeria on three points, ahead of Iceland and Argentina who have one point apiece, with Iceland ahead only on goal difference. Current group leaders Croatia have six points and have already qualified for the knockout stages.

Iceland will face Croatia on the final matchday of the group, while Nigeria will play Argentina knowing a win will seal qualification.
