Coming in as a second-half substitute, when the match remained evenly contested at 1-1, the winger made an immediate impact.
After receiving possession on the right wing, he made a remarkable individual run, evading two opposing defenders before converting to secure the decisive goal and ignite the home supporters.
For the 36 Lion organization in Lagos, this represented an exceptional achievement. The club, celebrated for developing talent destined for European football, saw one of its academy graduates accomplish the objective every young player aspires to: scoring for Nigeria on his international debut.
