Published: June 23, 2018

Super Eagles attacker, Ahmed Musa is confident the team would not rest on their laurels at the moment and that the real celebrations would start if they come off with a positive result in their last group game on Tuesday.

Musa scored both goals for Nigeria in their 2-0 win against Iceland in their World Cup encounter on Friday in Volgograd.

Speaking to reporters after his sensational performance, the 25-year old is already looking forward to the Argentina game, an opposition he also scored twice against at this stage four years ago, and his duel with Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

''I think scoring against Argentina is not that difficult for me, every game I take it step by step. If I'm going to score against Argentina, I am going to do that,' Musa said post-match.

''For me and for the team we have to work very hard, we know the importance of the last game, it's do or die. We have to win, we don't have to lose, we have to go for a draw or win.''

Musa made his sixth World Cup appearance against Iceland, and took his tally in both tournaments to four goals with his brace.
