Fernandez Delights with Maiden Super Eagles Goal
Emmanuel Fernandez was proud to net his first goal for the Super Eagles in their 2-2 friendly draw with Jordan’s Al-Nashama in Antalya. The Peterborough United defender expertly controlled Bright Osayi-Samuel’s cross and fired a left-footed finish past the keeper in the 41st minute. It was only Fernandez’s second appearance for Nigeria, following his debut in the 2-1 win over Iran last week. He took to social media to share his joy, calling it a “great experience” and writing, “Honoured and grateful to play for Nigeria. First start, first goal. Enjoyable experience.”
