Nigerian forward Moses Usor has moved closer to a possible Super Eagles call-up after playing a key role in LASK’s famous Austrian Cup triumph, ending the club’s 61-year wait for silverware.
In a victory powered by three Nigeria-born stars, Usor was once again on target as LASK defeated SCR Altach 4-2 after extra time in a thrilling final on Friday. The 24-year-old scored for the third game in a row, as he continues his red-hot form at a crucial stage of the season.
The win was historic for LASK, as it is their first Austrian Cup title in 61 years.
Usor’s performance is another strong statement in what has been a breakthrough 2025-26 season for the former Slavia Prague forward. His consistent goals, sharp movement, and confidence in big moments have made him one of the most exciting attacking players in Austria. It could be the breakthrough step that finally opens the door to the Super Eagles.
With Nigeria’s Super Eagles preparing for the Unity Cup later this month, Usor’s form could not have come at a better time. Reports suggest that head coach Eric Chelle is keen to give opportunities to in-form players and emerging talents.
Moses Usor could join David Ozoh, Femi Azeez, Isaac James and several others in getting their first international call-ups for the Super Eagles this month.
LASK are also chasing more success this season, as they sit at the top of the Austrian league table. The last time they won the Cup, they went on to complete a domestic double, and Usor and his teammates will now believe history can repeat itself.
