Super Eagles Defender William Troost-Ekong is excited to reach 50 appearances for Nigeria.
The Super Eagles vice captain reached the milestone during Friday’s 2-0 victory over Liberia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier.
The 28-year-old who made his international debut in an AFCON qualifying match against Chad in 2015, became the 26th player to win a 50th cap for Nigeria in the process.
“+3! First step towards Qatar 2022!
Well done to all the boys. On a personal note very special to play my 50th Cap for the Super Eagles. Onwards and upwards from here!”, Troost-Ekong posted on his social media platform.
Meanwhile, two first half goals from Kelechi Iheanacho powered the Eagles to the top of Group C with three points after their rivals Cape Verde and the Central African Republic played out a 1-1 draw on Wednesday.
Next up for Ekong and his teammates is a trip to Cape Verde for their second group match on Tuesday.
