Flying Eagles midfielder, Daniel Daga, has celebrated scoring his first goal for Norwegian club Molde in their 3-2 victory over Valerenga at the Intility Arena on Sunday night.
The 18-year-old Nigerian, who was introduced as a substitute in the 80th minute, made an immediate impact by unleashing a powerful shot from inside the box just three minutes after coming on. The stunning strike marked Daga's first goal in six league appearances for Molde in the Norwegian Eliteserien this season.
Clearly elated by his achievement, Daga took to social media platform X to express his joy: "Unless they kill God. Unbelievable feeling! First league goal and it's a moment of pure joy!"
Nigerian Talent Shining in European Football
Daga's goal comes as another positive sign for Nigerian football talent making an impact in European leagues. The young midfielder, who represented Nigeria at the U-20 level with the Flying Eagles, is gradually establishing himself at Molde, one of Norway's premier football clubs.
His performance on Sunday demonstrates the potential that prompted Molde to sign the Nigerian youngster, as he continues to adapt to European football and the competitive Norwegian Eliteserien.
The victory keeps Molde competitive in the Norwegian top flight as they pursue their season objectives, with Daga now hoping this maiden goal will be the first of many in his European career.
