Ahmed Musa surpassed John Obi Mikel as the third most capped Super Eagles player having featured in Friday’s international friendly against Algeria.
The 27-year-old replaced Samuel Chukwueze in the 75th minute as Gernot Rohr’s men bowed 1-0 to the reigning African champions inside Jacques Lemans Arena, and in the process got his 92nd Nigeria cap.

Musa went into the game on 91 caps, on level terms with the former Chelsea star who quit international football after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations staged in Egypt.
