Super Eagles midfielder, Sunday Mba has 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 on 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 then took the time to appraise Saturday’s performance against Les Elephants who were reduced to nine men late on.
“I
don’t think we played badly (against the Ivoirians). It is usually more
complicated to play against teams that are reduced in numbers.
