Nigeria vs Argentina: Super Eagles bow out of 2018 World Cup
The Super Eagles have been eliminated from the 2018 World Cup, following a 2-1 defeat to Argentina on Tuesday night.
Nigeria needed a draw or victory to progress into the next round.
Gernot Rohr stuck with the same formation and players that beat Iceland 2-0 last Friday, but they struggled to find fluency in the first half.
Lionel Messi scored his first goal in Russia, to give his side the lead at the break.
Victor Moses levelled from the penalty spot, after Javier Mascherano was punished for tugging Leon Balogun.
Odion Ighalo missed two good opportunities to give the Eagles the lead, before Marcos Rojo slammed in a volley late in the game, to give the Albiceleste all three points and a place in the last 16.
