Hamburg winger Philip Otele called his first cap for the Super Eagles the fulfilment of a lifelong dream. He came on late in Nigeria’s 2-2 draw with Jordan in Antalya, replacing Frank Onyeka and earning his maiden senior appearance under coach Eric Chelle. Filled with pride, Otele thanked God and dedicated the moment to his family. He said playing for his country was always his goal. After missing out on the earlier AFCON squad, Otele stayed a committed fan. He now aims to impress in future call-ups and cement his place in the team.
