Nigerian born 21 year old striker, Noah Arinzechukwu Okafor was literally the hero of Switzerland’s night of glory as they for the Qatar 2022 World Cup ahead of European champions, Italy.

Okafor scored the very first goal as Switzerland made a mincemeat of Bulgaria winning by 4-0.

The big win was enough to see Switzerland top the group and qualify for the World Cup, while Italy would go for the Play off in March.

Okafor who plays his club football with Red Bulls Salzburg in Austria was also in devastating form when Switzerland were held to a 1-1 draw by Italy over the weekend in Rome.

It would be noted that another European giant, Portugal would also be banking on the play off in March to reach Qatar after they were beaten at home by Serbia.

Serbia who picked the group ticket had before the game at the stadium of Light in Lisbon (Estadio de Luz) been promised 1 million euro bonus for each player by the Serbian government should they beat Portugal, a job which they did in style.
