Nigerian youngster Johnson Agwom Dauda announced himself on the big stage with a memorable performance for FK Novi Pazar in their stunning 2-1 away victory over Serbian champions FK Crvena Zvezda in the Serbian SuperLiga.
The Plateau State-born forward was introduced in the 76th minute and wasted little time making his presence felt at the iconic Rajko Mitić Stadium.

His breakthrough performance against the defending champions further highlighted his growing confidence and potential as one of Nigeria’s exciting emerging talents abroad.
Scoring at one of the most historic stadiums in Serbian football made the occasion even more special for the teenager.
The victory itself stands as a significant result for Novi Pazar, while Agwom’s contribution ensured the night became unforgettable for the young Nigerian forward.
With his development continuing at a promising pace, attention will now turn to how the talented attacker builds on this breakthrough moment in the Serbian SuperLiga.
