Ahmed Musa scored a brace against Kuban Krasnador to put CSKA Moscow top of the Russian league table on Saturday.
Musa scored his 8th and 9th goals in 21 league appearances for CSKA Moscow this season so far. He scored the first goal in the 21st minute and then converted a cute pass from Alan Dzagoev in the 81st minute of the game.
Musa has been a key player at CSKA Moscow, scoring crucial goals regularly.
Overall he has scored 38 goals in 116 appearances from 2011 till date.
Nigeria soccer fans are hoping that he can translate this form to the Super Eagles in the crucial double-header against Egypt, towards qualifying for Gabon 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
Fellow Eagles star Aaron Samuel was a stoppage time replacement for the Eagles skipper as both players fly in for the must-win AFCON qualifiers against Egypt beginning with the first game on Friday in Kaduna. Ahmed Musa has now scored eight goals in the league, just two goals short of his tally for last season.
CSKA remain on course to reclaim the Russian championship as they lead the standings with 43 points from 21 matches, two points ahead of closest rivals Rostov.
