Before Wednesday's game against Argentina, Ahmed Musa was not regarded as a 'Super' Eagle, that could not be far from the performance of the Kano state born playere who was rather 'insignificant' in the games against Iran and Bosnia.
Fans didn't like him after Iran game, they called for his replacement with the 'better' Victor Moses after the first two games, but the big boss kept faith in the CSKA Moscow player that he would deliver and he did deliver on the day that it mattered, though Nigeria lost.
Musa had just two attempts on goal and the shots well calculated registered in the Argentine net, twice at split minutes of response to goals from four time World Player of The Year, Lionel Messi.
Nigeria's two goal hero against Argentina Ahmed Musa has dedicated the Lionel Messi responsorial goals to his son Musa Ahmed Musa.
“I dedicate the goals to my son and those who believe in me and the team.
"What else can I say than to thank God for the goals, it was a great moment for me and the team.''
With his brace a the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Ahmed Musa has become the first Nigerian to score more than once in a FIFA World Cup and scored Nigeria Fastest Goal and could repeat more of the same feat as Nigeria hope for a better performance in the second round stage against France and subsequently other opponents, should they get past the French 'le blues.
