Nigeria and Cape Verde's Historic World Cup Moments

Nigeria's Super Eagles and Cape Verde have shared significant moments in World Cup history against Argentina. In the 2014 World Cup held in Brazil, Nigeria faced Argentina in the final group match on June 25, where Ahm Musa scored twice, leading to a thrilling 3-2 defeat.
Despite the loss, Nigeria advanced to the knockout stage for the first time since 1998. Lionel Messi initially gave Argentina the lead, but Musa quickly equalized, marking Nigeria's fastest-ever response goal in World Cup history.
Messi restored Argentina's lead before Musa struck again, leveling the match once more. Ultimately, Marco Rojo's late goal secured Argentina's progression as group winners.
In a recent match, Cape Verde made its World Cup debut, scoring two goals against Argentina, becoming the second African nation to achieve this feat, following Nigeria's earlier accomplishment.
