Moses Usor Scores Debut Goal for Super Eagles Against Madagascar

On September 25, 2026, Moses Usor made a memorable debut for the Super Eagles, scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 comeback victory against Madagascar during the opening qualifier for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Uyo. The 24-year-old forward, who plays for LASK, came off the bench in the second half and made an impact within 14 minutes, following George Ilenikhena's equalizer to secure the win after Ehsan Kari's opener for Madagascar.
Usor expressed his admiration for Moses Simon, who became the fifth Nigerian to achieve 100 senior international appearances during the match, stating he wants to emulate Simon's consistency, humility, and commitment. Usor emphasized the importance of hard work and learning from senior players, noting that one goal does not define a career.
He previously missed the 2026 Unity Cup due to injury but has now earned his place in the squad for the AFCON qualifiers, with hopes to play against Guinea-Bissau on September 29.
