Sam's first game on the international stage ended with a 4-0 win to his country where he grabbed an assist and Ademola Lookman got a hattrick.
Ademola Lookman won the man of the match award.
One of the key moments of that memory that made him exceedingly happy after the game was when his coach approached him. "You did well Sam, that was a tidy performance".
'He doesn't hide his praise!' This was a welcome surprise, Sam was excited. 'This means I'll have an easier time of worming my way into his heart'.
To him, that exchange was the best aspect of his debut.
Immediately after the game, Sam drove back to his family home right there in Abuja where he met his father who was already drunk in joy and passion.
Mr. Moses was a lot of things, and one of those things he was biggest in was that he was a patriotic Nigerian despite how bad the Nigerian economy was turning into. And he was an even bigger football fan.
