Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has applauded the skill of Ahmed Musa for his first goal scored in the 49th minute of Nigeria's 2-0 win over Iceland at the 2018 World Cup.

firing home a spectacular half volley from close range past the Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsen.
''That's a great finish, the first touch is unbelievable, that is the perfect touch to finish a goal, a good goal, a good touch most of the time is a goal,'' Drogba said in his post-match analysis on the BBC.

The Super Eagles number seven would have scored a hat-trick but saw his effort strike the crossbar in the 74th minute.
''What a chance, people are on the sides, in the middle, there are strikers there so they have a lot of options,'' added Drogba.

from two matches, three points behind pacesetters Croatia but two ahead of
Iceland and Argentina.
