Godwin Beats Troost-ekong In Battle Of Super Eagles Stars Arokodare, Yusuf, Echegini On Target

It was a night of standout performances from several Nigerian footballers across Europe and Asia, with Saviour Godwin edging fellow Super Eagles star William Troost-Ekong in a keenly contested Saudi Pro League clash on Wednesday,

Godwin scored the decisive goal as Al Okhdood claimed a crucial 1-0 away win against Troost-Ekong's Al Kholood at the Al Hazm Club Stadium in Rass.

The 67th-minute strike was the winger's sixth league goal of the season - matching his tally from the previous campaign. With five matches still to play, the 27-year-old will be aiming to set a new personal best.

The victory lifted Al Okhdood out of the relegation zone into 15th place, a much-needed boost as the season nears its conclusion.

Back to Europe, Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare netted his 20th league goal of the season in Belgium, scoring for Genk in their playoff clash against Royal Antwerp.
