Rojo's Late Strike Eliminates Nigeria As Argentina Advances Into Round 16. by AfriSportKits(f): 11:49am On Jun 27, 2018 |
Marcus Rojo became the unlikely hero of the night as his 86th minute strike was enough to give his side a narrow 2:1 win to eliminate Nigeria and consequently see Argentina advance into the round of 16 in Russia Croatia advance as winners of Group D with the maximum nine points after beating Iceland 2-1 and Nigeria were just minutes away from joining them before central defender Rojo superbly volleyed home a Gabriel Mercado cross from the right. Messi had put Argentina ahead in the 14th minute, with a fabulously taken goal but the Africans equalised through a Victor Moses penalty in the 51st minute and the twice World Cup winners struggled to respond to that setback with a ragged second half display.
