(3SC) goalkeeper, Kazeem Yekeen is grateful to God for sparring his life after
passing out during their 2-0 victory over Spartan FC in the Nigeria National
League week 10 game at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba in Ibadan, last
weekend.
Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports that the former Kwara United
goaltender collided with a Spartan player, passed out and had to be revived
immediately on the spot before being taken to the hospital. He was later
discharged and had since joined his colleagues in camp before the team departed
for the rescheduled NNL week 8 fixture away to Abia Comets FC which ended 0-0 on Wednesday.

While narrating his
experience in his first official reaction to the scary incident with 3SC media,
Yekeen said, "I wanted to cut the ball after the pass across but I clashed
my forehead with his (opponent) kneel and everything went blank".
The former Niger Tornadoes
goal tender further reveals that he never knew extent of the incident when he
came back alive.
"But after I was
revived the question was 'had the game ended and the final score line? It was
then they narrated what happened to me and how the whole crowd at the Stadium
reacted".
“I thank God we won and I
survived. I also appreciate the fans, team mates, and Spatan for their concerns
and prayers", Yekeen concluded.
