Nigeria forward Moses Simon says he is delighted to have captained the Super Eagles when they defeated Sao Tome and Principe 10-0 in their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture on Monday.
The 26-year-old, who features for Ligue 1 club Nantes, wore the captain armband as the Super Eagles cruised to their second Group A win at Stade Adrar in Morocco.
Moses announced his presence in the game by assisting Victor Osimhen to head in the curtain raiser.
He also grabbed the team’s second as he bundled home an Osimhen toe-poke assist and had a great evening overall.
“Big honour for me to wear the captain armband of the Super Eagles,” Simon wrote on his Twitter handle. “A historic win for the team as well. To God be all the glory.”
The huge win enabled Nigeria to move top of Group A with six points, having beaten Sierra Leone 2-1 in their opener at Abuja National Stadium. Nigeria will now prepare to face Guinea-Bissau in their matchday three fixture on September 19.
