Messi opened the scoring with a perfect volley off a deflection, but Nigeria answer right back with a Ahmed Musa score.
Messi and Musa traded goals to make a 2-2 tie until Marcos Rojo put the winner in the back of the net in the 50th minute.
Both teams took the foot off the gas after that, knowing that each will advance. Argentina wins the group with 9 points and will take on the 2nd place finisher in Group E. Nigeria will play the winner of Group E. And we are meeting France next!
So proud of our Super Eagles team. Despite losing 3-2 to Argentina, our team has qualified to the knock-out stages as runners up in Group F. The first African nation to make it to the Round of 16. Go Super Eagles! Proud Nigerian!! And Enyeama, thank you! What a goal keeper!
