David Linus Emerges as Obas FA’s Teenage Goal Machine, Nets 12 in Seven Games
A teenage striker, David Linus, is attracting attention at Obas Football Academy following an impressive scoring run at the ongoing NLO 2 tournament at the Legacy Pitch in Lagos.
The 15-year-old forward has established himself as one of the standout performers for Obas FA, scoring 12 goals in seven appearances to underline his growing potential as a prolific goalscorer.
Linus, who missed Obas FA’s opening two matches in the tournament, made an immediate impact upon his return, proving a constant threat to opposing defenders with his movement, positioning and finishing ability.
His knack for finding space inside the box and converting chances has earned him recognition as a natural goal poacher, while his skill and composure in front of goal have further enhanced his performances.
The teenager’s goals have also played a significant role in Obas FA’s impressive run in the competition, with the youngster contributing consistently as the academy secured a series of positive results.
Obas FA recorded victories over OBOSA, F8Ballers FA, I Konnect FA, Starlight FC, Amazing Grace and OSYKAY FA, while also drawing 2-2 against Liqui Moly.
The academy’s results included a 6-1 victory over OSYKAY FA and a 7-0 triumph over Vino Gano, highlighting the attacking strength of the team.
