Nigeria are top of Group F of the
African qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup, beating hosts Kenya 1-0 in
their second leg tie in Kasarani on Wednesday. Nigeria now have eight
points from four matches, while Kenya are bottom of the log with two
points.
The other Group F match between Malawi
and Namibia ended goalless in Blantyre, leaving the hosts with six
points in four matches.
The Super Eagles had a tough day with
their hosts as the Kenyans tried all they could to exploit their home
advantage in front of a capacity crowd at the Moi International Stadium.
But all the visitors needed was an 81st minute strike from CSKA Moscow’s Ahmed Musa to give Nigeria the needed victory.
Nigeria’s next World Cup qualifier will
be against Namibia in Windhoek on June 12. After that, the African
champions travel to B
razil for the FIFA Confederations Cup which holds
from June 15 to 30.
