2014 WORLD CUP - DAY 14 - GROUP F - Nigeria vs Argentina 2:3

GROUP F
Nigeria vs Argentina 2:3

 

SQUADS:
ARGENTINA NIGERIA 

 

GOALS

Nigeria:
4'  Ahmed Musa (#7) 
47' Ahmed Musa (#7) 

Argentina:
3'  Lionel Messi (#10)  
45  Lionel Messi (#10)
50' Marcos Rojo  (#16) 

 

Argentina and Nigeria both qualified for the last 16 of the World Cup despite two Lionel Messi goals condemning the African side to a 3:2 defeat in their final group game.

The Barcelona forward netted a fierce opener, but Ahmed Musa equalised within 80 seconds with a curling finish.

Messi made it 2:1 before the break with a 25-yard free-kick, but Musa grabbed his second after bursting through.

Marcos Rojo scored Argentina's winner, knocking in a corner with a knee.

The result means Argentina finish top of Group F with three wins from three games, while Nigeria qualify in second with four points after Iran failed to defeat Bosnia-Hercegovina.

Nigeria will face France in the last 16 in Brasilia next Monday, while Argentina take on Switzerland a day later in Sao Paulo.
