World Cup: Argentina game do-or-die, says Musa

Deadly Ahmed Musa struck two stunning goals to sink Iceland 2- 0 on Friday and

then promised to do the same to Lionel Messi ’ s Argentina in Tuesday ’ s Group D

showdown .

The Leicester City striker , currently on loan at CSKA Moscow , became the first

Nigerian to score at two World Cups as the Super Eagles secured a crucial win

over Iceland , who missed a penalty.

He scored both goals in Nigeria’ s group stage 3 - 2 defeat to Argentina in Porto

Alegre , Brazil , four years ago and is relishing the chance to do it again .

But this time he hopes it will

knock out the South Americans .

“ I think scoring against

Argentina isn ’ t that difficult for

me ,” he smiled after his man -

of - the - match performance in

Volgograd. “ We know the

importance of the game . It ’s do -

or- die .”

The African side will secure a

spot in the knockout stage

alongside Croatia if they beat

Argentina .

A draw would be enough to eliminate the Argentines but would leave Nigeria’ s

fate resting on the outcome of Iceland ’ s game against Croatia which kicks off at

the same time.

Musa also scored twice for Leicester in a 4 - 2 pre - season friendly defeat against

Messi - inspired Barcelona two years ago and said he always scores when up

against the Argentine superstar .

“ I can remember four years ago when Messi played in Brazil I scored two goals , ”

he recalled .

“ And when I transferred to Leicester I played against Barcelona and he ’ s on the

pitch and I scored another two goals .

“ So I think next game anything can happen — possibly I ’ m going to score another

two goals ,” he laughed .
