AFCON: Lawal Signs Off in Style With a Goal
There is no denying the fact that Salim Fago Lawal, former Flying Eagles striker is in a terrific form in Europe after scoring another goal for NK Istra against Rijeka in Croatian elite league game played on Sunday,
The pacy striker, who is very deadly inside the box, pounced like a predactor after the goalkeeper failed to punch the ball to safety, as he displayed great striker’s instinct, beating the defender to the ball, before slotting the ball into the net in the 5th minute.
Rijeka proved to be hard nut to crack as the lead only lasted for four minutes for parity to be restored.
Nevertheless, it was NK Istra, being the home team, that showed more purpose and determination, with Lawal lurking around the opponents’ vital area in search of another goal before the weather became terribly bad and the game had to be abandoned due to fog in the first half.
Irrespective of the game being abandoned, the former Mavlon Fc attacker signed out in style with his seventh goal of the season and his focus shifted to the Super Eagles camp in Egypt, where he is among the 28- man squad listed for the African football fiesta.
