It is
quite funny for the Super Eagles midfielder; Sunday Mba who laughed off
insinuations that he only scores goals when Nigeria’s national team play on
Sundays.
Mba attained
legendary football status in Nigeria after his winning goals against the Ivory
Coast and Burkina Faso at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.The
Enugu Rangers man netted both goals, in the quarterfinals and final of the
competition, on Sundays.
The
25-year-old scored twice as Nigeria thrashed the Ivory Coast 4-1 in a 2014
African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier against the Ivory Coast at the
Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna yesterday.
“People say
I always score on Sundays and can’t score if we play games on other days. It is
funny because the two goals I scored at the 2013 Afcon were great goals that
coincidentally came on Sundays,” he told supersport.com.
He concluded “I don’t think we played badly against the Ivorians, It is usually more complicated to play against teams
that are reduced in numbers’’.
Mba needs blessings on other days, don’t you think so?
