Crotone's Simy Sets New Record: Scores In Three Consecutive Games For Three Different Clubs
Published: April 29, 2018
Crotone's Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo is playing his way into Nigeria's 35-man provisional World Cup roster set to be announced in the coming days after netting for the third successive game in his team's 4-1 win over Sassuolo on Sunday afternoon.
Before today's meeting at Stadio Ezio Scida (Crotone), the lanky striker had tallied in games against traditional clubs Juventus and Udinese.
In the 16th minute, a teasing cross delivered into the box by Bruno Martella was not properly cleared by the Sassuolo defense and Simy was the first to pounce on the loose ball to score.
He closed the scoring with his sixth league goal in the 89th minute after dribbling past the opponents.
This is not the first time Simy has scored in more than two consecutive games, he first achieved the feat while wearing the jersey of Portimonense during the 2012-13 season, scoring consecutively against Trofense, Porto II, Freamunde and Feirense.
He also found the net in three straight games for Gil Vicente, against Desportivo Aves, Feirense and Farense in his last three games before bidding farewell to Portugal in the 2015-16 campaign.
Away from Simy's impressive individual records, his recent goals have helped Crotone climb out of the relegation zone as they are placed 14th in the 20-team table with 34 points.
