Musa stars in CSKA win



Super Eagles winger, Ahmed Musa was impressive for Russian club, CSKA Moscow in the 1-0 win over Krylita Sovetov in the Marbella Cup on Monday night.

Musa started the game and was on for 85 minutes before the CSKA coach, Leonid Slutsky substituted him for the Russian attacker, Serder Serderov.

SuperSport.com can report that Musa, who was full of running in the game raked an impressive score of eight for his display by fans of the club on the official CSKA Moscow website.

The former Kano Pillars forward was making his third start of the season for the club following his January switch from Dutch side, VVV-Venlo.

Musa scored on his debut when CSKA defeated Videoton 1-0 on January 30 in the club’s opening game at the Marbella Cup.

The speedy attacker also played from the start for CSKA in their second game of the competition, a 0-1 loss to Chinese side Guangzhou on February 3.

The 19-year-old who is fast establishing himself as a super regular in the CSKA side is capped by Nigeria at Under20 and Under23 levels.

Musa is also an integral member of the Nigeria men’s national team, the Super Eagles and has scored once in 12 senior appearances.
