Nigeria will have their own fate in their hands when they play next week against Argentina, but right now, it's time to celebrate.
The Super Eagles had more than a little help from Ahmed Musa, who stepped up to lead them to a 2-0 win over Iceland. Furthermore, Musa managed to make history while scoring a second half brace.
Particularly, his first goal caught the eye of many fans, as he sent the ball to the back of the net with a delightful volley.
Have a look at his ball control and the subsequent volley (Image might be geo-restricted).

With his subsequent goal, Musa confirmed himself as the Super Eagles' all-time top scorer in World Cup games.

Added to that, Musa became the first Nigerian player to score in two different World Cups. He's scored the four most recent goals for the Super Eagles in the competition.
