Arsenal midfielder, Alex Iwobi proved himself a super substitute for Nigeria on Saturday when he scored the decisive goal needed to take the African football giant to the Russian World Cup.
Nigeria needed a victory, no matter the margin, against visitor Zambia and Iwobi made the 1-0 victory possible.
Iwobi came in the 67th minute and seven minutes after, he utilised a cross by a team mate after a pass by Victor Moses to score for Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
Nigeria now have 13 points in Group B, followed by Zambia with 7 points. Cameroon have six points.
Nigeria’s final match in November against Algeria will now be a mere formality as Iwobi’s goal has booked a place for the Super Eagles next year in Russia.
