Nigerian forward Moses Usor has significantly bolstered his prospects of a Super Eagles call-up after playing a key role in LASK’s historic Austrian Cup victory, which ended the club’s 61-year wait for a major trophy, NaijaFooty reports.
Usor found the back of the net once again as LASK triumphed 4-2 over SCR Altach after extra time in a thrilling final held on Friday. The 24-year-old has now scored in three successive matches, showcasing his standout form at a critical point in the season.
The match began at an electrifying pace, with Altach taking the lead just five minutes into the game. However, LASK quickly responded, with Usor leading the charge by scoring the equalizer just six minutes later, bringing his total to 14 goals across all competitions this season.
Altach regained the advantage in the 30th minute through Vesel Demaku, putting LASK on the back foot as they headed into halftime. In the second half, LASK pushed hard for another equalizer, which eventually came in the 66th minute when Samuel Adeniran made it 2-2. With neither team able to find a decisive goal in regular time, the contest moved to extra time, where LASK truly found their rhythm.
Ten minutes into the extra period, Abuja-born U.S. international George Bello scored to give LASK their first lead of the match at 3-2. Shortly afterward, Adeniran secured his second goal of the evening, sealing the 4-2 win and igniting jubilant celebrations.
The victory marks a monumental achievement for LASK, as they clinch their first Austrian Cup title in over six decades, making it a night to remember for both the club and its Nigerian stars.
What next for Moses Usor? LASK star pushing hard for Super Eagles call-up
Moses Usor continues to impress during his standout 2025/26 season, with the former Slavia Prague forward establishing himself as one of the most dynamic attackers in Austria. The 24-year-old’s consistent goal-scoring and standout performances have bolstered his chances of earning a first-ever Super Eagles call-up ahead of this month’s Unity Cup.
Reports suggest head coach Eric Chelle is eyeing in-form and rising talents, with Usor in the mix alongside contenders such as David Ozoh, Femi Azeez, and Isaac James.
