Players of Nigeria's Super Eagles are still in a euphoric mood following their 1-0 success over Kenya's Harambee Stars in Wednesday's 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifier in Nairobi.
.
Ahmed Musa's exemplary finish after 81 minutes gave the African champions a crucial win that sees them extend their lead in Group F by two points off second placed Malawi.
.
A win over Namibia on June 12 could now virtually seal a place in the final round of qualifying for the world cup for the African champions.
.
Winger, Nnamdi Oduamadi said the win had a special feel about it after the "difficulties the team faced" before the encounter.
.
The Nigerian contingent arrived in Nairobi just hours before the game following an international friendly against Mexico in Houston on Saturday.

"This not just any victory and it means a lot to all of us. The difficulties the team faced made it a very hard game but we never doubted we would win," Oduamadi told supersport.com after the game.

Chelsea midfielder, Victor Moses did not play the game as he was excused by head coach, Stephen Keshi on medical grounds.
.
The 22-year-old however proved his patriotism following a rather revealing tweet hours after Wednesday's game.
.
"watched the boys win 1-0 earlier great win come on #nigeria," Moses stated via @VictorMoses.

Nigeria will next face Namibia in Windhoek and are now heavy favourites to top group F ahead of Kenya, Malawi and the Namibians.
