Super Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong, is delighted to have made his 10th international appearance for Nigeria in Thursday’s international friendly against Senegal at The Hive Stadium, London.
Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho’s penalty seven minutes from time secured a 1-1 draw with the Teranga Lions, preserving coach Gernot Rohr’s unbeaten record since he took charge of the Nigerian team.
Troost-Ekong, who had represented the Netherlands at under-19 and under-20 youth levels, made his senior international debut for Nigeria on June 13, 2015, playing 90 minutes in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad.
The KAA Gent defender took to his Instagram account to thank the fans for their support throughout the encounter.
“???? Thanks for your great support! Good fight from the team for the draw. Proud to have played my 10th cap for Nigeria,” the Rio 2016 Olympics silver medalist said via @wtroostekong.
The 23-year-old is expected to make his 11th appearance for Nigeria when the Super Eagles take on Burkina Faso in another international friendly on Monday.
