I Don’t Only Score On Sundays - Mba

[Folami David]

Super Eagles midfielder, Sunday Mba has laughed off insinuations that he only scores goals when Nigeria's national team play on Sundays.
.
Mba attained legendary football status in Nigeria after his winning goals against the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
.
The Enugu Rangers man netted both goals, in the quarterfinals and final of the competition, on Sundays.
.
The 25-year-old scored twice as Nigeria thrashed the Ivory Coast 4-1 in a 2014 African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier against the Ivory Coast at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on Saturday.
.
"People say I always score on Sundays and can't score if we play games on other days. It is funny because the two goals I scored at the 2013 Afcon were great goals that coincidentally came on Sundays," he said.
.
He then took the time to appraise Saturday's performance against Les Elephants who were reduced to nine men late on.
.
"I don't think we played badly (against the Ivoirians).
.
It is usually more complicated to play against teams that are reduced in numbers.
.
"We must continue in this path and improve on our mistakes as we look to qualify for the competition," he said.
.
Nigeria will qualify for the 2014 Chan to be hosted in South Africa if they avoid a 0-3 defeat to the Ivorians in the return leg in Abidjan.

l hope Nigeria can consolidate on the home win by not losing up to 3-0 against in the away game. At-least, a draw would do for qualification.

Sunday Mba did very well in the game and I must commend him for his hardwork for the team so far in the competition. I believe they would win the second leg.
