2019 Fifa U17 World Cup star Said returns from suspension with a bang, finds the net for Viborg v OB 

2019 Fifa U17 World Cup star Ibrahim Said shone in his first game after serving a two-game ban, finding the net for Viborg FF as they came from a goal down to beat OB 3-1 in a Danish Superliga match at the Nature Energy Park on Friday.

Before the trip to Odense, the former Golden Eaglets winger was unable to participate in Viborg's last two matches in the league after he was sent off for violent conduct during the first half against Lyngby on March 17.

He first fouled Marcel Rømer shortly before the break before inadvertently stepping on him, leading to him taking an early shower. 

Nicholas Mickelson opened the scoring from a tight angle in the fourteenth minute but the lead lasted less than seven minutes as Nicolas Bürgy brilliantly headed home a corner from Serginho.

Said came off the bench in the 28th minute as a replacement for Isak Jensen who suffered a suspected injury.

With ten minutes remaining, the Dabo Babes Academy product scored to give Viborg a 2-1 lead.

Serginho skillfully played the ball into the box with his heel, setting up Said, who calmly placed it into the near corner, leaving goalkeeper Viljar Myhra with no chance to make a save.

Malik Abubakari extinguished any slim hopes of an OB comeback when he found the net in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Said has registered three goals and five assists from twenty-four appearances in all competitions in the ongoing season.
