Nigeria beats Iceland with two cleans goals in the first half to put them one step closer to the knockout stages. The Super Eagles put in a disappoint show in their opening match against Croatia, but posed far more threat against Iceland and took the lead when a counterattack was finished off by an phenomenal Musa strike as he plucked the ball out of the air from Victor Moses' cross and fired the ball past Goal Keeper Hannes Halldórsson.

And the 25-year-old Musa, who was brought into the side to replace Alex Iwobi, added a second on 75 minutes to spark wild celebrations as he finished in an open net having rounded Halldórsson after beating Kári Árnason.
