We will continue working hard in the next game.It is good to be on the scoresheet and as we continue to train I will work hard to break into the first 11,” said Meja.The forward’s brace was however not enough to seal victory against Sandvikens IF as they settled for a 2-2 draw in a pre-season game.The first goal for Meja came from 12-yards as he held his nerve to convert a penalty and the second came after Omar dribbled across the byline and laid the ball on a plate for him.Halvtid på Skytteholms IP där AIK har vänt underläge till ledning 2–1 efter dubbla mål från Henry “Meja” Atola. #AIKSIF pic.twitter.com/LCwssOI8kZ— AIK Fotboll (@aikfotboll) February 22, 2022 “It was a good feeling to score, I had played three games without scoring but I finally managed to score which makes me very happy.Omar dribbled and gave me a cut back which I made a run to meet it and tap it in and the goal is good for my confidence,” added Meja.
