On loan Arsenal midfielder Kelechi Nwakali helped his MVV Maastricht keep up their ambition of qualifying for the top division in Holland by scoring their only goal in the 1-1 draw against Cambuur.
MVV Maastricht are in the Dutch League playoffs where they are eyeing a spot in the top division, and Nwakali got them going as early as the 8th minute of play when he struck the opener.
However his goal was cancelled out in the 17th minute to leave their hope of progressing to the next knock out stage slim ahead of the return leg away to Cambuur next week.
While MVV Maastricht have experienced contrasting fortunes in the league, the form of Nwakali has been very impressive considering the 18 year old is in his first season as a professional footballer.
He has some very poor games but in the games where he has played to his potentials he has thrice picked up man of the match awards for his display for the promotion chasing Dutch team.
