Super Eagles Belgian-Nigerian hopeful Cyril Dessers opened his goal account for his new side FC Utrecht in their 1-1 draw against Russian side Rubin Kazan in a pre season friendly.
Dessers struck in the 10th minute of play before Rubin Kazan’s Brazilian forward Jonathan levelled matters for his team with a strike in the 44th minutes of the pre season tie.
The goal was his first goal for the team he joined few months ago after powering NAC Breda to the top flight league in Holland with 22 goals in the regular season, and seven more during the play offs.
22 year old Dessers has already voiced his intention to play for Nigeria ahead of Belgium as he fancies his chances of making the grades with the Super Eagles than the senior national team of Belgium.
Yet to be capped at any level by either Belgium or Nigeria, the closest he came towards a first cap was when he made the bench for the U-20 of Belgium in a tie few years ago but didn’t get to play.
