Nigeria's 10 Most Memorable Football Moments In The World Cup by zacknaija: 5:04pm On Dec 14, 2014
As the Super Eagles has surprisingly failed to qualify to the AFCON 2015, I decided to share this article with you, just a reminder of how GREAT the Super Eagles were..

1. Yekini Scores Nigeria’s First World Cup Goal

Nigeria scored the first ever World Cup goal against Bulgaria through Rashidi Yekini in the 1994 competition facilitated by the United States. Playing against an European group shockingly at that level, the Eagles were not anticipated that will score first. However Yekini opposed the chances to score first in the 21st moment and had an euphoric festival a short time later.

2. Samson Siasia’s Goal against Argentina

In that same Usa’94 tournament, after Nigeria overcome Bulgaria 3-0 in the first match and watched Argentina rout Greece in the match before our game; Nigeria was not favored against the South Americans. However the unforeseen happened in the eighth moment as Samson Siasia exploited a detached ball and lashed a shot past Argentina’s goalkeeper Luis Islas to record Nigeria’s only goal in the match. Argentina inevitably won 2-1 however nobody might overlook in a hustle that they very nearly lost to Nigeria.

Yakubu's miss against South korea in 2010 should definitely make the list.
