Nigeria has qualified for the round of 16 in the on going Brazil 2014 FIFA Wold Cup despite losing gallantly to Argentina by 3-2 in Port Alegre.
Lionel Messi scored in the 3rd minute to give Argentina the lead but Ahmed Musa got a much needed equaliser to level up for the African champions. Messi then scored a wonderful free kick at the stroke of half time but the Super Eagles never gave up, as Musa scored a perfect goal after a nice run of play from the Nigeria midfield. Argentina were not done as they got a goal from a corner kick by Marcos Rojo after a sloppy defending by the Nigerian defence.
