Obaje thrilled with win over Go Round FC


By Taofeek Babalola

FC Ifeanyi Ubah forward Godwin Obaje has expressed his joy over his side’s 2-1 win over Go Round in the matchday 20 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) on Sunday, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports. 

The home team came from behind to secure all three maximum points at stake in the match.

Chidi Nwachukwu opened the scoring for the visitors in the 4th minute but the Anambra Warriors leveled the score in the 12th through Ekene awazie after receiving a pass from Chijoke Alaekwe to end the first half 1-1.

Godwin Obaje came on for John Huan in the 60th minute to put more pressure on the Port-Harcourt-based side and the decision to introduce the former Wikki Tourists into the game yielded positive result as his assist two minutes later produced the winning goal scored by Seka Pascal in the 62nd.

“I came into the game in the 60 minutes and I gave assist for the winning goal. It was not an easy game but thank God we were able to scale through because they scored us first. We were not really scared because they scored the early goal in the 4th minute. I just had the feeling that we will win when we equalised before half time. Before I entered the pitch, the coach told me to put more pressure on their defence and that was what I did and it paid off. I am really happy I made an impact in the game,” Obaje said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

FC Ifeanyi Ubah will travel to Calabar for outstanding game against Enyimba on Wednesday before the trip to Yobe Desert Stars for this weekend game.
