Musa’s goal was scored in the 25th minute to double the lead for Sivasspor, after Hakan Arslan’s opener in the 19th minute.
Harun Ozcan pulled one back for the visitors just before the break but it was nothing but a consolation in the end.

But the day belonged to Musa whose goal was celebrated by the fans and teammates and serves as a major boost for the World Cup hero heading into the AFCON as Nigeria looks to life the title for the first time in 10 years.
