In the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Nigeria narrowly defeated Madagascar 2-1. The focus was on a man who earns his living in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga.

Moses Usor was substituted in the 61st minute for AC Milan legionnaire Samuel Chukwueze, and just four minutes later, the LASK player's moment arrived.

Dream Goal on Debut

Usor received the ball from his own defense and started a sprint down the right wing. The attacker left two opponents behind at the edge of the box and entered the penalty area from the right side.

There, Usor took enough time to look up and surprise Madagascar goalkeeper Geordan Dupire with a well-placed low shot into the near corner.

For the 24-year-old, it was his first national team goal in his first appearance for the "Super Eagles". It was also the winning goal for Nigeria in the 65th minute.
