LASK's Moses Usor Shines in Nigeria Debut with Winning Goal
Moses Usor, a 24-year-old forward for LASK, expressed his desire to emulate the consistency, humility, and commitment of Moses Simon, a 100-cap Nigeria star, as he begins his international career. Usor made his Nigeria debut on September 28, 2026, scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 comeback victory against Madagascar during the opening match of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in Uyo.
He came off the bench in the second half and scored just 14 minutes after his introduction, following George Ilenikhena's equalizer to Ehsan Kari's opener. The match was significant for Simon, who achieved his 100th senior international appearance.
Usor expressed admiration for Simon and emphasized the importance of staying humble and learning from senior players. He had previously been called up for the Super Eagles squad for the 2026 Unity Cup but missed it due to injury.
Usor aims to secure a starting role in the upcoming qualifier against Guinea-Bissau.
