Charles Agada, a standout for the Flying Eagles, secured a hat-trick for Mavlon FC, leading them to eliminate Fiorentina from the 2024 Viareggio Cup tournament in Italy.
The 17-year-old, often compared to Daniel Amokachi for his speed and skills, gained attention after his stellar performance at the 2023 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.
Agada's impressive run continued for Mavlon FC as he scored the opening goal in the 40th minute, providing a 1-0 lead at halftime.
Adding to his tally, Agada scored his second goal in the 65th minute, seemingly securing Mavlon's control. However, Fiorentina fought back, narrowing the gap with a goal in the 71st minute.
As the match intensified, Fiorentina leveled the score in the 90th minute, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
Agada, displaying his clutch ability, netted the winning goal just two minutes into stoppage time, securing Mavlon FC’s spot in the quarter-finals.
Serving as the team captain, Agada has been a standout performer, accumulating an impressive seven goals in four games, making him the leading scorer in this year’s Viareggio Cup edition.
