Obaje thrilled with win over Go Round FC

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

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

Chidi Nwachukwu opened the scoring for the visitors in the 4th minute but the Anambra Warriors equalised 12 minutes later 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 forward into the game yielded positive result as his assist two minutes later produced the winning goal scored by Seka Pascal in the 62nd minute.

“I came in into the game in the 60th minute and I gave the 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 equalized before half time. Before I entered the coach told me me to put more pressure on their defence and that was what I did and it paid off. I am happy really happy I made an impact in the game.”

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