Nigeria forward Oghenekaro Etebo has said he was lucky to score four goals and equal a record first set by West Germany’s Bernd Nickel 44 years ago.

Nickel scored his double brace in a 7-0 spanking of USA in front of 65,000 fans in Munich.

Portugal-based Etebo, who said he is inspired by Manchester United star Wayne Rooney, scored his four goals against Japan on Friday.

“When I scored those goals, I didn’t think about anything. It’s a game of football! Luck was on my side,” he said.

“I’m not that perfect but I believe, like my coach says, once you get a chance, it’s better you convert it because you don’t know when you’re going to get another one.

“I’m not a kind of special striker or fantastic goalscorer, but it’s better to be at the right place at the right time to score good goals.

” Etebo was Goal King when Nigeria won the U-23 AFCON in Senegal in December.

He subsequently scooped the CAF Most Promising Talent for 2015.
