Simon Reveals Secret to Super Eagles Longevity after Madagascar Win

Moses Simon achieved a significant milestone during Nigeria's 2-1 victory over Madagascar in the 2027 AFCON qualifying match held at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. The winger, who came on late in the game, became the fifth Nigerian player to reach 100 appearances for the Super Eagles. Simon initially started on the bench but was substituted in for Akor Adams, who had struggled to make an impact.

This appearance saw Simon join Alex Iwobi as the second active Nigerian player to achieve the 100-cap mark. Simon, who is 32 years old, made his debut for the Super Eagles in 2015 and has now earned 100 caps across all competitions. After the game, Simon expressed gratitude towards the coaches, fellow players, journalists, and family for their support, emphasizing that their passion for football motivated him to give his best whenever called upon.

The Nigerian winger aims to secure another appearance in Nigeria's next AFCON qualifying match against Guinea-Bissau, which will be crucial for the team's early boost in Group L.
