Nigeria finally scored their first goal of this summer's World Cup as Ahmed Musa found the back of the net with a terrific half-volley to break the deadlock against Iceland.
Friday evening brought a crunch Group D match between Nigeria and Iceland, with both sides needing to take something from the game to keep their knock-out hopes alive.
After a rather lacklustre first-half, it was the 'Super Eagles' who dealt the first blow.
From an Iceland long-throw at the far end of the pitch, Nigeria cleared and charged upfield on a quick counter. Victor Moses sprinted down the right wing, before curling a cross towards the near post.
Musa controlled the ball with a wonderful first touch before smashing it past Hannes Halldorsson on the half-volley.
