.Targets brace against 3SC
IFEANYI Ubah striker, Ismail Gata says he knew he would
start scoring for his new club sooner rather than later after hitting the
target in a 2-0 victory over Rivers United in the Nigeria Professional Football
League Match Day 23 encounter at the Ifeanyi Ubah Stadium, Nnewi on Sunday.
Wasiu Jimoh gave the home side the lead in the 25th
minute before Gata registered his name on the scorer's chat in 52nd minute, his
first for the Nnewi side after joining from Niger Tornadoes during the
mid-season transfer window to take his tally to 10 goals this season.
In a chat with sportsbiz247.blogspot.com, the former
Enyimba and Kwara United striker said he hopes to increase his tally with a brace
against another former club, 3SC in Ibadan next weekend.
"I'm very happy to score my first goal after joining
from Niger Tornadoes. I've always believed that my goals will soon start
flowing despite the fact that I did not hit the target in my first two games.
“It will be lovely
to play against 3SC my former team and I am planning to score two goals. With
Wasiu my strike partner, Wasiu Jimoh and Okereke Maduabuchi our Cristiano
Ronaldo, I believe we are going to defeat Shooting Stars. Even though they beat
MFM away in their last match, we also defeated another top club, Rivers United.
This is football and anything can happen, so we too want to beat them in
Ibadan”, Gata told sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
Sunday’s victory saw Ifeanyi Ubah climbed up two places
on the log to 11th with 30 points from 21 matches.
