Vincent Enyeama, possibly Africa's greatest goal keeper as he denied Dzeko dying seconds chance to hit the back of the net- not Bosnia or Edin's night!
This is Nigeria's first World Cup win in 16 years (won 1-0 in 1998 group stage vs Bulgaria)
Nigeria and Mexico are the only nations yet to concede a goal at the World Cup.
Argentina is topping the group F with six point, having beats both Bosnia in their fist group game and Iran today.
Nigeria faces the group leader, Argentina in the final group match. A draw will conveniently place Nigeria in the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup tournament.
With the second lose today, Bosnia is already out of any qualification chance while Iran may want to struggle to win their last match against the Bosnia and Herzegovina for any qualification chance should Nigeria fail to either secure a win or play a draw against Argentina.
Reacting to the Eagles' victory, Odemwingie told Optima live: "We are excited to get it (first win since 1998). It was difficult but we had to do it for Nigeria. I'm happy."
Group F: 1. Argentina, 6 points, +2.
