Super Eagles star, Leon Balogun, was pleased to finally play for his country in front of his family.
Balogun, 28, born to Nigerian dad and German mum, had never donned the colours of the West African nation in the presence of his loved ones.
Thursday’s international friendly clash with Senegal in London, however, did grant him his undying wish.

Kelechi Iheanacho’s late strike cancelled out Moussa Sow’s goal as both teams settled for a hard-fought stalemate.
Balogun will most likely have his family on the stands once again when Nigeria tackle Burkina Faso in another friendly at same venue on Monday.
