LASK's Moses Usor Shines with Debut Goal for Nigeria
Moses Usor, a forward for LASK, made a significant impact on his Nigeria debut by scoring the match-winning goal in a 2-1 comeback victory against Madagascar during their opening 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier held in Uyo. Usor, 24, was substituted in during the second half and scored just 14 minutes later, completing Nigeria's comeback after George Ilenikhena equalized following Ehsan Kari's initial goal for Madagascar.
Usor expressed his excitement about debuting alongside players he admires and acknowledged the expectations from Nigerian fans for his performance. He had previously been called up to the Super Eagles for the 2026 Unity Cup but could not participate due to injury.
With Nigeria set to face Guinea-Bissau in their next Group L qualifier, Usor hopes to secure a starting position and build on the confidence gained from his debut.
