<br>Al Masry will be with the two goal cushion, but more importantly, they’ll take confidence in knowing they have reliable weapons on the bench. Ebuka’s performance is exactly what coaches dream of sharpness, hunger, and a [clinical](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-history/okocha-i-deserved-caf-player-of-the-year-at-least-once/) finish when it matters most.

<br>For Nigerian football, it’s another example of how talent continues to thrive across Africa’s top leagues. While some eyes remain fixed on Europe, performances like these prove that continental football is alive with quality and with Nigerians like Ebuka leading the charge, there’s plenty to be proud of.

<br>The return leg in Tanzania won’t be a walk in the park, but with form and confidence on their side, Al Masry and Ebuka have one foot in the semi-finals.
