With Croatia having qualified, this result means one of Iceland, Nigeria or Argentina can still qualify.

Leicester flop Musa struck twice in the second-half for Nigeria and Gylfi Sigurdsson skied a 83rd-minute penalty over the bar to sum up Iceland’s day.

Iceland coach Heimir Hallgrimsson is already looking forward to facing old foes Croatia in the final group game and said: “We’ve played Croatia four times in four years.

“We’ve often said we’re like a married couple - we’re trying to get divorced, but we always meet up again.

“We’ve already beaten them once in Iceland so we at least have that confidence with us when we play them.”

Iceland, the smallest country ever to play in a World Cup, were undone by Musa’s fine half-volley finish in the 49th minute.

Musa rounded Iceland keeper Hannes Thor Halldorsson to wrap up the win for the Super Eagles.

Once star man Sigurdsson fired over - awarded after a video assistant referee review - Iceland knew it wouldn’t be their day.

Hallgrimsson added: “We didn’t think we would go through this World Cup without a loss. But losses are always hard to swallow.”

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr hailed his players for bouncing back following an opening-game defeat to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

He said: “We should what we can do. Our confidence is coming back.”
