Nigeria cruise to 3-0 victory vs. Seychelles

Goals from Ahmed Musa, Chidozie Awaziem and Odion Ighalo ensured Nigeria got their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign back on track with a 3-0 away win against Seychelles on Saturday.

Stand-in captain Musa set the ball rolling in the 15th minute with his 16th international goal, a beautiful left-footed scorcher which came back off the post and goalkeeper Dave Mussard, before settling in the back of the net.

Despite not delivering a spectacular performance - largely due to the poor state of the artificial pitch - Nigeria were professional in their approach, and the debuting Samuel Kalu was the outstanding individual.
