Onigbinde explains what Nigeria 'did differently' to beat Iceland

The Super Eagles earned their first win at the finals in Russia thanks to Ahmed Musa’s brace

Former Nigeria coach Adegboyega Onigbinde believes the Super Eagles showed more hunger for the ball which helped them secure a 2-0 win over Iceland in Volgograd on Friday.

Gernot Rohr’s men started their World Cup campaign with an uninspiring loss to Croatia in Kaliningrad last Saturday, which attracted huge media backlash.

After Ahmed Musa’s second half brace gave them a potential lifeline to reach the knockout phase at the Volgograd Arena, the ex-national team gaffer feels their display was worth the result.
