Super Eagles new goalkeeper, Okoye Maduka has described his debut for the three-time Africa champions, as a dream come true, bestchoicesports.com.ng can report

Okoye, 20, made his official debut for Nigeria in the 1-1 draw with Brazil on Sunday in a friendly played in Singapore.

Okoye who came in on 62 minute to replace injured Francis Uzoho put up a decent performance for the 33 minutes he manned the stick for Nigeria.

Francis Uzoho was stretchered off the match with a thigh problem after 62 minutes of play.

Uzoho sustained the knock after landing awkwardly in his attempt to save a goal-bound cross, and he was shown holding his thigh.

He was clearly in significant discomfort, with the 20-year-old goalkeeper eventually being stretchered off, to be replaced by debutant Maduka Okoye after a brief delay.

Reacting to his debut on Twitter, the Fortuna Düsseldorf goalkeeper
said “Glad to have made my debut for Nigeria 🦅!
It’s a dream come true playing for my beloved country 🇳🇬.
Now it’s time to work even harder!
Wishing my brother @Uzohof a speedy recovery 🙏🏽
Thank you Nigeria!”
