Three records tumbled for Ndubuisi Egbo as KF Tirana defeated Dinamo Tbilisi 2-0 in Wednesday’s first qualifying round.
Having led Tirona to league success in the Kategoria Superiore last season, the former Nigeria international made his intentions known in helping the Albanian side to the group phase.
He moved closer towards achieving that feat by defeating the Georgian outfit at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena.
In the process, he wrote his name in the history books being the first Nigerian to lead a team in the Champions League.
Argentine midfielder Agustin Torassa handed the Albanians a first-half lead thanks to his effort during added time, while Marsel Ismailgeci sealed the win with his 86th-minute effort.
With that, he also became the first Nigerian to win a game as well as the first man from the West African nation to make a winning debut in the tournament.
Before the game against Tbilisi, he expressed his desire to become the first Nigerian to coach a team in the Champions League group stage, albeit, he claims he is not chasing personal glory.
“I’m looking forward to the game. I’m not chasing personal records. I’m a team player,” Egbo told the Punch.
“My aim is to take the Albanian champions to the Uefa Champions League group stage and show what they can do. (Goal)
