Isaac Success enjoyed a lively Nigeria debut after being introduced for the final half-hour of their 1-1 draw with Senegal at The Hive this evening.

His arrival on the hour mark coincided with a resurgence from the Super Eagles, who had been largely on the back foot until that point and deservedly trailed through Moussa Sow’s close-range finish after 54 minutes.

Deployed on the right of a front three, Success looked notably energetic and settled any early nerves by winning his country a corner within minutes of coming on.

He was later booked for a rash challenge on Cheikh Ndoye when trying to win back a ball he had lost, but moments later the Super Eagles intercepted the free-kick and raced forward.

Kalechi Iheanacho was then taken out by Senegal goalkeeper Pape Seydou N’Diaye, and picked himself up to level from the spot.

Success saw little of the ball in the final throes of the game but looked dangerous whenever he did, and won a free-kick in a threatening position right by the corner flag, which the Super Eagles then wasted.

The final whistle was greeted with an impromptu pitch invasion at The Hive, with Premier League stars Alex Iwobi, Sadio Mane and Success among those mobbed.
