Just two weeks after scoring his first goal for his club Uljanik against Kustosija, Flying Eagles midfielder, Caleb Ochedikwu got a brace on Saturday to seal victory for his team against Segesta.
Ochedikwu, a talented midfielder had a commanding presence on the pitch, as he was all over the place in the thick of the action and little wonder that he scored for Uljanik in both halves of the encounter.
It was a very entertaining Croatian top flight league game. Uljanik made their intentions known from blast of the whistle with Lorenzonl Travaglia opening the net in the 13th minute.
The energetic Nigerian midfielder, blessed with good passes, scored in the 35th minute to increase the tally to 2-0 and the scoreline stood the same going into the break.
Segesta were not ready to be slaughtered at an away game without a fight and they registered a goal through Tonci Kukoc Petraello nine minutes into the second half.
It was a goal that gave the visitors a glimpse of hope that they could claw their way back into the game, as they intensified pressure on the home team for the equalizer.
However, reality of losing the maximum points was confirmed when Ochedikwu hit the back of the net with his brace in the 73rd minute of the thriller.
The third goal from Uljanik was a backbreaking goal. The fight spirit of Segesta disappeared into the thin air, with Uljanik missing some couples of goal scoring opportunities that could have turned the tie to a more harvest of goals before the referee signalled the end of the game.
The former Mavlon Fc midfielder, who just signed for the club during the summer transfer window is gradually proving to be goalscoring midfielder with his three goals in two games consecutively.
It is more interesting to note that the Nigerian scintilating midfielder has played seven games and scoring three times thereby making him the rave of the moment in Croatia.
