Saudi Arabian Professional League club Al Nassr on Wednesday threw a party to celebrate their winger Ahmed Musa who was this week named Nigeria’s best player for the year 2018. Musa picked the award at the 2018 AITEO/NFF Football Awards ceremony which took place at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos on Monday.

The award capped a remarkable year for the 26-year-old who shone for Nigeria at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Musa scored two goals at the global soccer fiesta and also helped Nigeria secure their only win in Russia against Iceland.

His Al Nassr teammate Ali Akaibari was also honoured for graduating from the University with a bachelor degree in Gymnastics.

The talismanic forward later provided assist for the second goal six minutes later when he setup Petros to tap into an empty net before Mohamed Atwa put through his own goal to increase the tally to 3-0 just on the half hour mark.
The win puts Al-Nassr on course for a historic league win as they remain top of the standings with 61 points, one point off defending champions Al-Hilal with four round of matches left in the league.
