William Troost-Ekong is ‘honoured’ to lead Nigeria to a
1-0 victory over Poland in a friendly outing on Friday evening.
In the
absence of the Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, owing to work permit issue
at his base in China, the Bursaspor defender was given the responsibility to
lead the team against Adam Nawalka's men.
Victor
Moses’ strike from the penalty spot made the difference as Gernot Rohr’s side
continued their World Cup preparations on a positive note.
Delighted
with the outcome of the game in his first outing as the skipper of the
three-time African champions, the Dutch-born defender has taken to the social media
to share his feelings.
“Very Honoured to captain Nigeria for the first time
today [Friday],” Ekong posted on Instagram.
“And
very proud of the boys who fought well to beat Poland 1-0. Thanks for your
support!”
