A goal of the season contender, a 20 yarder from Samson Obi settled a pulsating NPFL Oriental Derby between Abia Warriors and Heartland in Umuahia on Wednesday.
Although Heartland FC team manager Mobi Oparaku identified goalkeeping error as the reason for his team’s defeat, the former Eagles defender rated the goal as one of the best so far this season in the league.
He told www.brila.net, there was nothing the keeper could have done again; he’d switched off in the vital moment, the strike was superb and it was a proper shot.’
