Obafemi Martins was the two-goal hero as Nigeria defeated Kenya 3-2 in Nairobi Saturday and snatched a place at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Trailing at half-time in a match they had to win, the 'Super Eagles' hit back with two goals inside five minutes through Martins from German champions Wolfsburg and Everton striker Aiyegbeni Yakubu.
Kenya levelled 12 minutes from full-time as they battled to finish third in Group B and clinch a place at the 2010 African Nations Cup in Angola only for Martins to score the winner on 83 minutes.
