Super Eagles World Cup 2018 defender Bryan Idowu has crowned Russian Cup champions with Lokomotiv Moscow following their 1-0 win over the Ural in the final of the Russian Cup.
The 27-year-old was on for the entire duration of the final and put in a commanding shift to help his team emerged as champions by hanging on to the lone goal they scored in the 27th minute.
Idowu was placed on standby in the 25 men provisional list of the Super Eagles of Nigeria for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations as he struggled to get games at the club when he first joined them in the summer.
Born in Russia to Nigerian parents, his desire to play for Nigeria came to reality when he made his debut for Nigeria in a World Cup friendly win over Argentina, a game he scored to help Nigeria to a 4-2 win, he subsequently played all of the games at the World Cup.
