– Nigeria lost the match 6 – 3 to Egypt
– Ekpe captained the national team and earn 28 caps
Nigeria’s first goalscorer at an African Cup of Nations tournament Asuquo Ekpe has died.
Ekpe scored Nigeria’s first ever goal in the African Nations Cup history when Egypt defeated Nigeria 6 – 3 in Kumasi, Ghana.
When Asuquo Ekpe played along with his younger brother, Effiong Ekpe (then called Ekpe Junior), in a February 2, 1963 4-1 defeat of the then Dahomey (now Benin Republic), the Sun reports.
He scored 14 goals in total for Nigeria. He made his debut for Nigeria in a 1956 friendly match with Togo and played his last in an abandoned 1-1 All Africa Games qualifier duel with Dahomey (now Benin Republic).
He also appeared 28 times for the national team.
It was the first time a set of sibling was playing for Nigeria. The pair went on to play a couple of more matches for Nigeria.
Ekpe reportedly played for Duke Town primary and secondary schools in the 1940s and 1950s.
