Stanley Okoro Hails Big Brother Osas Okoro After MOTM Performance Vs Tunisia

Former Almeria winger Stanley Okoro says he is not surprised one bit that his elder brother Osas Okoro has been one of the standout players in the Super Eagles squad at the ongoing African Nations Championship.

The Enugu Rangers star notched a helper - his third of the tournament in two games - as the Super Eagles were forced to a 1 - 1 draw by Tunisia in their second Group C fixture on Friday afternoon.

And even the officials from Confederation of African Football have taken note of his performance, handing him the Orange Man of the Match award after the game against the North Africans.

“Before Osas left for the tournament, I told him that this year is for him, so I’m not surprised that he has been doing well in Rwanda,”Okoro, who starred for the Golden Eaglets in 2009, told allnigeriasoccer.com.

“We have been talking everyday since he arrived in Rwanda and his best is yet to come.

“Both of us are wingers, I use my left while he uses his right. He has everything to succeed as a winger.”

The 25 - year - old Osas Okoro has gone the distance in every single game contested by Nigeria so far at the African Nations Championship.
