Obinna Nsofor's goal three minutes

into stoppage time kept Nigeria's slim World Cup hopes alive as

they squeezed out a narrow 1-0 home win over Mozambique on

Sunday.

The victory came after some frenetic attacking towards the

end of their African zone Group B qualifier.

Nsofor's strike came after Obafemi Martins had his header

saved. Martins had fluffed several earlier chances to give

Nigeria the lead.

Tunisia, who started Sunday's penultimate set of qualifiers

two points ahead in the standings, would have qualified for next

year's finals in South Africa had second-placed Nigeria drawn.

They remain in command after Issam Jomaa's first minute goal

sealed a 1-0 win at home to Kenya in Rades on Sunday.

Tunisia visit Mozambique while Nigeria travel to Kenya in

the final round of group matches on Wednesday.
