Ahmed Musa Back In Business : Super Eagles Captain Scores Brilliant Goal For Al Nassr

Published: November 23, 2018

Ahmed Musa ended a mini goal drought after netting the game winner for Al Nassr as they claimed a 1-0 win against Al Shabab on game week ten in the Saudi Pro League on Friday, November 23.

The Super Eagles captain had failed to score in the previous three matches before stepping out onto the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, Riyadh turf at 1740 hours local time.

Musa finished a move in which he started after going past three defenders, by curling the ball home from the edge of the area in the 35th minute.

The former CSKA Moscow and Leicester City man has now scored five goals in the Saudi Arabian topflight and is competing with Al-Hilal's Bafétimbi Gomis (7 goals) and Argentine striker Cristian Guanca of Al-Ettifaq (6 goals) for the top scorer prize.

Al Nassr have won eight of their first ten games of the season and sit second on the table with 25 points, two less than pacesetters Al Hilal who travel to Al Faisaly on Saturday.

Musa has set up three goals in nine appearances for the capital outfit.
