Nigeria starlet Kelechi Iheanacho has won the inaugural International Premier League Cup for Manchester City U-21 team, scoring the only goal in his team 1-0 victory over FC Porto on Friday night, africanFootball.com reports.
Benfica, Schalke, Celtic and Leicester City were the other teams involved in the competition.
Iheanacho, who is due to soon join Nigeria’s Flying Eagles at the training camp in Nurnberg, Germany, put the hosts ahead inside five minutes.
The Flying Eagles star lasted for 62 minutes before he was replaced.
This performance has further cleared doubts about his fitness ahead of the U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
Iheanacho was first injured in November and then he received another injury in early March.
But he has since fully recovered to feature for both Manchester City U19s and U21s. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
