Ahmed Musa equaled Odion Ighalo’s record as the seventh joint-top scorer in Nigeria football history following his goal in Saturday’s 2-0 win against the Lone Star of Liberia.
Musa, who became Nigeria’s most capped player following his introduction for Kelechi Iheanacho late in the game netted Super Eagles second goal from the spot.
The winger last scored for the West Africans in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying clash against Libya in 2018.
The former Leicester City player and Ighalo now has 16 goals for Nigeria.
Rasheed Yekini is Nigeria’s leading scorer ever with 37 goals, while Segun Odegbami occupy second spot wity 22 goals.
In third position is Yakubu Aiyegbeni with 21 goals. Ikechukwu Uche sit in fourth position with 19 goals.
Obafemi Martins and Samson Siasia occupy fifth and sixth positions with 18 and 17 goals respectively.

This man is in this team for personal records and not to help the team,no wonder he took the penalty ,I was wondering when Musa started taking penalties for Nigeria,and rohr is IN ,in all these nonsense
Ekong even left his duty post to Sprint to the sidelines to wear the armband on Musa……Doing honorary ceremony display when there is serious business at stake…… Depriving young players caps, young players that can be of help to SE in the future…… Because you want to honor a player on his way out of limelight hence struggling to remain relevant..,..SMH
4mins, 3mins, 8mins just to pile up appearances. It’s in Super Eagles players are compensated for their previous contributions at the expense of national team’s progress. I said it before and will say it again, if Ramos is a Nigerian he will make the squad to 2022 WC based on previous performances.
The most annoying part is some fans that reaons like morons will come up with stupid and annoying excuse of how he still “go world class training at PSG” therefore it’s enough criteria to board the plane to Qatar
