After the break, Nigeria changed their game-plan to try to overturn the contest. Said and done, Argentina suffered the wrath of the Super Eagles with two goals in very short succession.

Iheanacho's free-kick in the first half gave them hope and the 2-1 result on the scoreboard did not last long after the break.

Iwobi levelled the game after 52 minutes. The Arsenal forward put away Iheanacho's pass into the box to the Argentine's dismay.

 

However, there was more to come. Two minutes later, it was 3-2 to Nigeria. Idowu finished off a fast-passing move to send the Nigerians into delirium.
