Nigerian Exports: John Akinde Shines For Barnet; Emmanuel Osadebe Nets Consolation; Hakeem Araba Grabs Last-gasp Equalizer

John Akinde was on target and set up a goal as Barnet came from two goals down to share the spoils with Accrington Stanley  on match day 33 in the English League Two on Saturday.

On 79 minutes, Luke Gambin converted Akinde’s right sided cross to bring the scoreline to 2-1 before the the Anglo-Nigerian restored parity two minutes from time with a header off the under side of the bar, from Randall’s free kick.

The Gravesend-born striker has notched 12 goals (8 assists) in the fourth-tier of English football in the ongoing season from 29 appearances.

One flight up, Emmanuel Osadebe netted a consolation in the 80th minute as promotion-chasing Gillingham fell 2-1 at home to Gboly Ariyibi’ss Chesterfield.

In Sweden, Falkenberg were held to a 1-1 draw by Varberg in the Svenska Cup, with Hakeem Araba equalizing for the homers in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time.

In their next game in the competition, Araba and his teammates will lock horns with Dickson Etuhu’s AIK Stockholm on March 5.
