Historic: The First Nigerian to Score in The Libertadores
What Nacional achieved in their matchup against Academia Puerto Cabello was not only a great result in their quest to advance to the next round of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores but also marked a historic moment. Christian Ebere became the first Nigerian player to score a goal in the ENTIRE history of the competition.
And Ebere not only etched his name in the history books with his goal but also was the one who made Nacional score a penalty away from home in the Libertadores, something they hadn't done since September 22, 2020, when Thiago Vecino did it against Estudiantes de Mérida.
