Super Eagles duo of Anthony Nwakaeme and John Ogu were both in action for Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva in their 2-0 win over Maccabi Petach Tikva in the Ligat HaAl in Israel.
Ogu missed the last two weeks with a slight injury, although he returned back to training last week, he still sat out their last two games before starting in today’s game.
Nwakaeme on his part extended his purple patch in front of goal to three goals in his last three games with a goal in the 77th minute, which helped Hapoel Be’er Sheva kill any hope of a late fight back from their host.
28 year old Nwakaeme has found the back of the net four times in the league this season, and his current form suggest he could retain the best player of the year award he won last season, when he fired 14 goals for his team to power them to the league title.
