The entire planet was stunned when the Super Eagles stepped under the spotlight during the 1994 FIFA World Cup and took the world by storm. Two memorable members of that superb squad were Rashid Yekini, who scored their maiden goal against Bulgaria, and the magician himself, Jay-Jay Okocha.The mentioned duo scored dozens of wonder goals throughout their respective careers and are a sort of synonym for exquisite footballing skills.Rashidi YekiniJay-Jay OkochaStephen KeshiNwankwo KanuDaniel AmokachiSunday OlisehRespect🙌to those who came before ’em (70&80s) and some notable teammates, but African football fans/Journos ALWAYS ask Nigerian journalists about the sextet above during AFCON coverage.

Our Okocha comes from Uganda and is a regular for the Premier League outfit Ondurapaka. Currently 12th on the table, his side hosted the second-placed Kampala City today. MON: 21.00: (2.40) LC BAMAKO (2.95) YEELEN O. (3.10)Ten minutes into the game, after an unsuccessful clearance following the corner-kick from the left, the ball came to Okocha near the edge of the are. Without hesitation, he fired a proper belter into the far corner and netted in a fantastic manner.WATCH | Rashid Okocha fires @OnduparakaFC1 ahead!#ONDUKCCA | #StarTimesUPL | #MTNUgFootball | #PilsnerFootball | #HomeOfSports@PilsnerLagerUg | @RUBiSEnergyUG1 pic.twitter.com/iUGc0ue9C3— Sanyuka TV (@sanyukatv) December 27, 2021 However, the guests soon bounced back and took the one-goal lead before the half-time break. Ondurapaka struck again for 2-2, and just when the match was heading to end, Jimmy Ndalambi of Ondurapaka was sent off late in the stoppage time, and the game was interrupted due to security concerns.The game between @OnduparakaFC1 and @KCCAFC is brought to a halt due to security concerns.𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰.
