Unity Cup: Azeez makes history in Super Eagles’ win over Zimbabwe
Femi Azeez made history as the 62nd player to score on his debut for the Super Eagles following the team’s 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe on Tuesday night, DAILY POST reports.
The Millwall winger opened the scoring for Éric Chelle’s side in the fifth minute, before doubling the advantage two minutes after the hour mark.
Other prominent players, who scored on their debut for the Super Eagles are Finidi George, Julius Aghahowa, Obafemi Martins, Joe Aribo, and Bryan Idowu.
Azeez was also the first Super Eagles player to score a brace on his debut in 55 years.
Mathias Obianika was the last player to achieve the feat in Nigeria’s 4-0 defeat of Burkina Faso in November 1971.
DAILY POST reports only five players have scored a brace on their debut for the Super Eagles.
They are Friday Okoh, Patrick Noquapor, Abudu Buraimoh, and Obianika.
