Banega's instinct to shield the ball and wait for the right moment brought Messi into the match to a far greater extent and, with their talisman involved once more, Argentina duly prospered.
Super Eagles forward Ahmed Musa has joined Africa's leading top scorers in the history of the FIFA World Cup after netting a brace against Iceland in Nigeria's 2-0 over Iceland at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, Nizhny Novgorod.
So it was no surprise that the cameras turned on him after Marcus Rojo's goal in the 86th minute Tuesday, which proved the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over Nigeria that gave Argentina a berth in the Round of 16.

Messi got fewer touches in that match than Willy Caballero in the Argentina goal. "It is a joy and one that we deserved".
"We already knew we were going to win, we were confident that God would help us, that all would turn out well".
Argentina go on to face France in the next round while Croatia take on Denmark.
His catalogue of misfortunes include being run over by his own auto while his misbehaviour, ranging from drink-driving to getting sent off for abusing a referee, may have been a factor behind his omission from the World Cup squad four years ago.
