Nigeria Defeat Kenya To Top Group F

African champions, Super Eagles are now top of African World Cup qualifying Group F after they secured a 1 -&nbsp; 0 win over the Harambee Stars of Kenya on Wednesday.<br /><br />CSKA Moscow striker Ahmed Musa netted the only goal of the encounter played at the Moi Sports Center, Kasarani with less than 15 minutes to go.<br /><br />Despite the hype surrounding the match especially from the Kenyans, Nigeria dominated possession and skipper Vincent Enyeama had little or nothing to do.<br /><br />Nigeria, playing in their favorite green jersey, could have taken the lead as early as the second minute, Musa passing to Dynamo Kiev's Brown Ideye who missed from a glorious position in the eighteen year box.<br /><br />On 13 minutes, Ahmed Musa tried his luck from distance with a free-kick which narrowly missed target.<br /><br />The turning point must be the second half&nbsp; injury to Celtic's highly rated youngster Victor Wanyama. This made the Nigerians to take control of the midfield.<br /><br />And it did not come as a surprise when a slick counter attack by the Super Eagles resulted in the only goal of the match in the 81st minute, Ahmed Musa lifting the ball over the Kenya goalie, Duncan Ochieng.<br /><br />In the other group game, Malawi were brought back to reality after they drew goalless with Namibia. <br /><br />Nigeria, who have now moved two points clear of Malawi, face the Brave Warriors next Wednesday.<br /><br /><br />
