Samuel Mathais sets 14 goals target

By Taofeek Babalola

El Kanemi Warriors midfielder Samuel Mathais has expressed his aspiration to score 14 goals in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) this season.

Mathais netted a brace in his side's 3-0 bashing of Gombe United in a matchday 8 encounter at the El-Kanemi Stadium in Maiduguri on Sunday evening, which made it his third league goals this season.

The former Gombe United star emerged man-of-the-match following his outstanding performances in the game.

In a chat with Sportinglens.blogspot.com, Mathais expressed joy over the award as he promised to score more goals for his club.

"First of all, I must give the glory to God for his grace upon my life. And secondly, I feel happy to be man-of-the-match and scored two goals against my former club, but then I am not comfortable with that  because as a midfielder I have target of scoring 14 goals this season," Mathais said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

The former Kano Pillars midfielder said that his team deserved victory over Gombe United on Sunday.


"I am proud to say we were the better side. I said it before the game that our home ground is a fortress and we are willing to make it a trade mark as long as possible," he said.
