Femi Azeez makes history with Super Eagles debut brace vs Zimbabwe

Femi Azeez created Nigerian football history Tuesday night, becoming the 62nd player to score on his Super Eagles debut with a brace in their 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe. The Millwall winger opened scoring in the fifth minute before doubling the advantage after 60 minutes, making him the first player to score a debut brace in 55 years. According to Daily Post, only five players have ever achieved this feat for Nigeria - Friday Okoh, Patrick Noquapor, Abudu Buraimoh, Mathias Obianika (last in 1971), and now Azeez. This historic performance comes as Nigeria continues their Unity Cup campaign under coach Éric Chelle, with the victory signaling strong form ahead of future matches. How significant is Azeez's achievement in Nigerian football history compared to other debut milestones?
