The former Fame FC and Shooting Stars forward scored an 85th minute headed goal to seal the game and give the Super Eagles of Nigeria the bronze medal at Cape Town Stadium.
It was the first match of the tournament for Obiozor, a tall 20-year-old a left footed striker on the payroll of Enugu Rangers.
“Thank God because it was not easy being my first match tonight, and to win the man of the match award was a very great experience for me,” Obiozor told a source.
“The CHAN tournament has been very good because it improves the young players from the home clubs. Anything is possible for us now … we are on step closer to making the World Cup squad, for some of us this could actually happen now.
“I am now looking to move to Europe … any better offer that comes I will go.”
Obiozor, like most of his teammates at CHAN 2014, has enjoyed working with coach Stephen ‘Big Boss’ Keshi and says it has helped him mature.
“Keshi is the type of coach who always motivates you and says ‘come on boys, you can do it’. He has really showed us how to work hard for results.
“I just want to thank everybody in South Africa for a great tournament and a good time,” Obiozor concluded.
