Super Eagles stars were exhilarated to finally put smiles on the faces of Nigerians following an impressive 2-0 victory over Iceland on Friday.
Ahmed Musa scored a brace as Gernot Rohr’s team picked up their first victory of the FIFA World Cup.
Having received stern criticism after losing to Croatia, the Eagles were pleased to have made amends in style.
Here are some of the players’ reactions on Twitter.
