For the first time in a Fifa tournament, Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba handed the 18 - year - old his first start and he repaid his faith by notching two quick - fire second half goals against the Asians.
“All the credit goes to my team-mates. They made the conditions ideal for me during the game, and before it as well with their encouragements ahead of my first start.
“They asked me to give everything, so that’s what I did. The coach didn’t tell me anything specific, but I didn’t need any extra motivation, ” Godwin said to fifa.com.
The FC Sports starlet lasted 70 minutes on the pitch before he was subbed out for Tottenham Hotspur youth - teamer Musa Yahaya.
Saviour Godwin has already surpassed the 52 minutes of match time he had during the 2013 Fifa Under 17s, where he came off the bench in every single game minus the final against Mexico.
