Mavlon Rising Talent Scores Match-Winning Brace Against Sevilla
Cyril Ogar
Football sublimely gifted Noah Idris from Mavlon FC of Lagos was the cynosure of all eyes after his two breathtaking goals for La Liga Generation Next team condemned Sevilla to 2-1 defeat.
Idris, wearing the iconic number 10 jersey dazzled beautifully on the right wing with his deft touches, calm ball control, pacy dribbling runs and wonderful movement with the ball which created problems for Sevilla. He was simply unstoppable and his two goals sums up an icing on the cake for the 13 year old teenage sensation from Nigeria.
The La Liga Generation Next team comprises of four teenage players from four notable football countries in the world – namely Nigeria, Morocco, Mexico and Japan.
Idris and three other players were selected from Nigeria. Timothy Ijachi, another highly rated teenage player from Mavlon FC is expected to join them before their next game.
The display of Idris has made tongues rolling with excitements in Spain after performing at a very high standard in the game, but to many who knows Mavlon FC as hub of football talents in Nigeria, this did not come as a surprise.
