Kano Pillars have singled out veteran striker, Ahmed Musa for praise following their 1-0 matchday 26 victory over Akwa United.
Musa put up an impressive performance in encounter.
The winger was also named Man of the Match.
“Nigeria’s all-time leading FIFA World Cup goal scorer, played beyond expectations, dictating the tempo of the game with his skill, vision, and leadership,” Kano Pillars stated on X.
“His overall impact was undeniable, earning him the Man of the Match award through a majority vote by members of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Kano State chapter, who covered the match.
“The former Leicester City and CSKA Moscow star was a nightmare for the visitors, dazzling from the first whistle to the final moment.
“His influence in Kano Pillars FC’s campaign has been remarkable, despite rejoining the club weeks after the season had begun and missing six matches due to injury.
“Yet, Musa has still managed to score six goals and has been directly involved in more than half of the club’s total goals this season.”
