But for a late header in the 92nd minutes of play by former Inter Milan striker, Obinna Nsofor, Nigeria's hope of qualifying for the 2010 World cup Would have been dead, thanks to the Mambas defenders who left Nsofor unmarked and he made no mistake as he ensured Nigeria picked all three points at stake.

Player at a deserted Abuja National Stadium, the super eagles failed to enact the acts that saw them once feared by all in Africa as Mozambique played even more confidently than the homeside.

The match was in stoppage time and looked like Nigeria were crashing out of the World Cup qualifiers, before substitute Obinna Nsofor headed home from six yards after goalkeeper Joao Kapango had first kept out Obafemi Martins close-range shot, before the ball was hooked back into the box by Atanda Yusuf for Nsofor to head home

Tunisia remain at the top of Group Two with 11 points after a 1-0 home win agaainst the Hrambee stars of Kenya who occupies the bottom of the table with three points, while Nigeria are second on nine points, meaning the last round of matches coming up in November 14th will now have to determine who qualifies for the World Cup.
