Flying Eagles Winger, Emmanuel Ekpenyong seems to be the revelation of the match against Paul E Sports.

The former Ottasolo winger, made a bold statement right from the commencement of the game, as he scored the second goal, when he chest the ball and sent a ferocious goal to the roof. What a world class goal, scored by Ekpenyong Emmanuel.

Immediately after the goal, he continued to mesmerize the opponent from the flank, as he assisted the fourth goal that gave the Flying Eagles convincing victory, against Paul E Sports.
The match ended 5 goals to Nil in favour of Flying Eagles of Nigeria.

Ekpenyong Emmanuel will be a player to watch out for in this Flying Eagles. A player who is fast, pacy, energetic and as well, a clinical finisher which he did in style in the match. Ekpenyong Emmanuel reminded me his exploits in a match against Abia Warriors in the Aiteo Cup, where he assisted Ottasolo by scoring the goal that sent Abia Warriors packing in the FA Cup, what a promising player to watch out for in the future.
