Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi produced an emotional and historic moment after scoring his first-ever goal for the Nigerian national team during Nigeria's 3-2 victory over Tunisia .

The tribute carried even deeper meaning as Ndidi wears the number 4 jersey, a shirt number famously worn by Kanu Nwankwo during that legendary Olympic campaign.
