World Cup qualifier Update: Nigeria defeated Algeria 3-1 in Akwa Ibom Today


It was a game with intensity as each team was hungry for a must win.  Algeria defence was properly organized which could not allow their opponents surge pass them. But Victor Moses got the ball from a one-two play, finds his way in the Algerian defence before unleashing a missile past goalkeeper
Raïs M'Bolhi at 25 minutes of play, given Nigeria the lead. Mikel Obi score his 5th goal for National team at 42 minutes of the play before the half hour.
However, Nigeria concedes a goal from Nabil Bentaleb who fires a missle at Daniel Akpeyi who was off his line and gave a good chance for the Algerians to comeback in this game. But Victor Moses killed the game when he scored his brace at 92 minutes. The result will place Georges Leekens under immense pressure as his side are in danger of failing to qualify for the 2018 Fifa World Cup.
congratulations to Super Eagle for a good display today.
