Iwobi fires Super Eagles to World Cup

Alex Iwobi’s second half goal guaranteed Nigeria’s place at the 2018 World Cup, the Arsenal forward earning a 1-0 home win against Zambia on Saturday.



The three-time Afrian champions defeated the Chipolopolo 2-1 away earlier in the group and they appeared set to do so again with few problems, Mweene making relatively straightforward saves from Moses Simon, Wilfried Ndidi and the lively Victor Moses.
Towards the end of the first half, Zambia’s glorious opportunity went begging with Alex Ng’onga at fault as he failed to convert with goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa to beat, firing wide from close range.

Alex Iwobi came on as a substitute and broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute with a calm finish from close range converting Abdulahi Shehu's low pass.
