Nigeria moved one step closer to qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil after Ahmed Musa\u2019s second half goal ensured the Super Eagles defeat host Kenya in Kasarani by a one goal.<\/p>\n

The Eagles missed several scoring chances and were also denied an obvious penalty as both Teams settled for a goalless first half.<\/p>\n

The introduction of John Ogu, Anthony Ujah and Fengor ogude in the second half was the tonic the Eagles needed to stamp authority on the Game before Ahmed Musa\u2019s 81st<\/sup> minute strike.<\/p>\n

In eleven matches before Wednesday Game, the Super Eagles won nine times with the remaining ending in draws.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s victory has thus catapulted Nigeria to the top of Group F with eight points while Malawi sits in second place with six, followed by Namibia on four points and Kenya on two points.<\/p>\n

This position shows that Kenya is out of the World Cup 2014 race.<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s next match is in Windhoek on June 12 against Namibia while Malawi hosts Kenya in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
