Musa provides assist for Iheanacho
Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa put up one of the best performances at the charity match, loaded with ex and present football stars.
In a post on X, the Kano Pillars captain provided a superb assist for midfielder Kelechi Iheanacho after beating TV host Chuey Chu on the left flank.
The 2013 AFCON winner faked goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali before laying the pass inside the penalty box.
After scoring the goal, the Sevilla midfielder took a boy as a sign of respect for the 32-year-old.
Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface, who was probably waiting for the pass, failed to jubilate with the duo of Musa and Iheanacho; instead went to shake hands with the other player.

Odoekwu says Musa deserves more
Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian journalist Joseph Odoekwu has stated that Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle should have left Ahmed Musa out of the 39-man provisional list released on March 4, rather than including him only to drop him later.
Odoekwu criticised the decision, calling it disrespectful to exclude the team captain from the final 23-man squad.
He emphasised that the 2013 AFCON winner could have shared his wealth of experience with the team and served as a valuable ambassador for the NPFL.
