Super Eagles' Ilenikhena and Usor Shine on Debut Goals
In the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Nigeria's Super Eagles triumphed over Madagascar with a score of 2-1. The match featured remarkable performances from George Ilenikhena and Moses Usor, both of whom scored on their senior international debuts.
Ilenikhena equalized in the first half, while Usor, who came on as a substitute for Samuel Chukwueze just four minutes earlier, secured the victory with the second goal. This achievement places Ilenikhena and Usor among a distinguished group of Super Eagles players who have scored on their debuts.
Notable past debut scorers include Femi Azeez, Akor Adams, Brian Idowu, Ekigho Ehiosun, Stephen Makinwa, Femi Opabunmi, Julius Aghahowa, and Obafemi Martins. Their goals, particularly in competitive matches, enhance the significance of Ilenikhena and Usor's contributions against Madagascar.
