Arsenal Loanee Kelechi Nwakali Fires In Second Professional Goal

Published: April 08, 2017

Nigeria U20s skipper Kelechi Nwakali netted his second professional goal in MVV Maastricht’s 2-1 loss to Den Bosch in the Dutch Eerste Divisie on Friday night.

The visitors were rewarded for their dominance when their number ten broke the deadlock with an stoppable shot in the 63rd minute after seeing his earlier effort saved by the Den Bosch goalkeeper.

In the 71st minute, the home team restored parity and things got worse for MVV Maastricht as Luuk Brouwers netted the game-winner with four minutes left on the clock.

Friday’s game against Den Bosch was Nwakali’s 25th appearance of the season in the league.

The Arsenal loanee and his teammates return to action on Good Friday when they host FC Emmen, starting from 2000 hours.
