William Troost-Ekong captained the Super Eagles to a 1-0 victory over Poland Friday night.
The feat, he says, makes him “very honoured and proud”.
The Bursaspor central defender showed quality in the heart of the defence alongside Leon Balogun and then Kenneth Omeruo.
He had a night to remember as he skippered the three-time African champions for the first time in his career.
Victor Moses scored the only goal in the hard-fought win from the penalty spot.
After the game, Troost-Ekong wrote on Twitter: “Very honoured to captain Nigeria for the first time today (Friday).And very proud of the boys who fought well to beat Poland 1-0. Thanks for your support. #SuperEagles.Nigeria Super Eagles.”
The defender is expected to start in the friendly match against Serbia at the Hive Stadium on Tuesday night.
