The 28-year-old forward, who formed part of his country's Afcon 2013-winning team, became an international centurion in a meeting with the Blue Sharks

Ahmed Musa won his milestone 100th Nigeria cap on Tuesday in their World Cup qualification clash with Cape Verde.

Musa was expectedly selected to start in Mindelo as the Super Eagles hope to boost their chances of qualifying for Qatar 2022 against Bubista’s Blue Sharks.

After representing the country at youth level, the speedy forward made his senior debut on August 5, 2010, in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualification versus Madagascar – coming in as a substitute for Mikel in the 2-0 win.
