Argentina beat Nigeria’s Super Eagles 1:0 in their Group B encounter in the ongoing FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Gagriel Heinze lone goal from a powerful header to a corner kick just after 6 minutes, stood out in a match that should have seen a goal harvest by either side. Argentina, who dominated the first half, threw away no less than five glorious chances, while Nigeria, a vastly improved side from the break, squandered at least four chances that should have been buried. The encounter at Ellis Park in Johannesburg was the third clash between the two sides at the World Cup level. At USA ‘94 Argentina beat Nigeria 2-1, and won again 1-0 at Korea/Japan 2002. Early on at the Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth, Korea Republic beat Greece by two goals to nil also in Group B.
