It took him 14 minutes to announce himself in style to Nigerian football lovers with a stunning individual goal to hand Eric Chelle’s side the maximum points.
The LASK of Austria forward has vowed to keep working hard to earn a starting shirt in the Super Eagles.
Usor said: “Now it’s about work. One goal doesn’t make a career. I want to stay humble, keep learning from the senior players, and keep fighting for my shirt. I want Nigerians to know I’m here to give everything.”
Usor also expressed his admiration for Moses Simon, who made his 100th appearance for Nigeria against Madagascar.
