Nigeria midfielder John Ogu scored his first goal for his club this season in Hapoel Be'er Sheva's 4-0 thumping of Maccabi Netanya in the Israeli Ligat Haal on Saturday.


Ogu in action

Ogu, who moved to the Israeli side this season from Portuguese side Academica de Coimbra, was on target on 57 minutes to help his team get back to winning ways after losing 3-2 to Maccabi Haifa last week.

Shlomi Arbeitman got Be'er Sheva on their way with the opener in the 10th minute before William Soares put them 2-0 ahead six minutes later.

A goal in the second half from Ogu in the 57th and a Maor Buzaglo penalty goal ensured Be'er Sheva took all the spoils at the Versamil Stadium.
"I feel really good. It's always nice to get off the mark. I've had loads of chances in other matches but 

I'm just happy it went in this time round," he told supersport.com after the game.

"I dedicate my goal today to the amazing fans of Hapoel Be'er Sheva, their support has been amazing.

"We hope to keep doing well and see how it goes at the end of the season.

"We have to try and continue like this, the ambition is there and that is to win the league."

Ogu has made 17 appearances for Nigeria and has scored one goal for his country. However, he has not been in Stephen Keshi's plans recently and didn't play a single game in Nigeria's ill-fated 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

Elohor Godswill Ekpolo sits in the Barcelona dressing room, his Nike Tiempo boots comes off his foot as coach Jordi Vinyals pats him on the head for a great game and for good measure too. The talented right-back had earlier scored for FC Barcelona's Juvenile A squad (equivalent of the Barcelona C team) as they whipped Celtic 3-0 to round up the group stage matches of the 2013/14 Uefa Youth Champions League. The goal was his third in six group stage matches, as Barcelona's Under-19 team ran riot collecting 16 points from a possible 18in a group that also had the youth sides of AC Milan, Ajax and Celtic. Ekpolo is highly rated in the Blaugranas circles and is tipped to become a first team star very soon to follow the footstep of his more illustrious and established La Masia graduates like Carles Poyul, Sergio Busquets, and more recently Cameroonian youngster Jean Marie Dongou.

Abdullahi, 21, penned the deal with the Kuwaiti side after he rebuffed overtures from South Africa, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and a deal with Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon fell through at the last minute. The former Kano Pillars midfielder says he is comfortable with the deal as it affords him a new challenge and an avenue to put himself in the window. "I'm really happy with the deal. It's a new challenge that I am looking forward to," he told 9jafooty from his base in Kuwait. "A lot of people were surprised I chose Kuwait, but I am happy. Kuwait will be a springboard to better things. This is just a stepping stone. "I hope to give my all to the fans of the club and also help the team win laurels during my stay here." Abdullah
