Flying Eagles New Messiah, Saviour Godwin Thanks Teammates After Brace Vs North Korea

Rave - of - the - moment Saviour Godwin has refused to take the credit alone for his brace against North Korea the Fifa Under 20 World Cup clash against North Korea and has thanked his teammates for assisting him.

For the first time in a Fifa tournament, Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba handed the 18 - year - old his first start and he repaid his faith by notching two quick - fire second half goals against the Asians.

“All the credit goes to my team-mates. They made the conditions ideal for me during the game, and before it as well with their encouragements ahead of my first start.

“They asked me to give everything, so that’s what I did. The coach didn’t tell me anything specific, but I didn’t need any extra motivation, ” Godwin said to fifa.com.

The FC Sports starlet lasted 70 minutes on the pitch before he was subbed out for Tottenham Hotspur youth - teamer Musa Yahaya.
