Video: Zambia 1 -Vs- 2 Nigeria [WC Qualification Africa] Highlights

The Arsenal and Manchester City men were on target as the Super Eagles enjoyed a positive start to their bid for Russia 2018

First-half goals from Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho saw Nigeria win 2-1 away to Zambia in World Cup qualifying.

Iwobi handed Nigeria the lead after 32 minutes in Ndola, before Iheanacho made it two shortly before the break to hand Nigeria a comfortable lead at half-time.

Zambia created a number of chances to pull one back and Collins Mbesuma eventually reduced the deficit with 19 minutes left on the clock, but they were unable to level the scoring as the visitors emerged victorious in the Group B opener.
