Ex-Paris Saint-Germain Striker Ogbeche Continues Brilliant Form In India

Published: November 24, 2018

Former Nigeria international Bartholomew Ogbeche was on target as NorthEast United earned a dramatic 2-1 win over Kerala Blasters on game week eight in the Indian Super League on Friday.

A 93rd minute strike from the former PSG wonderkid and Juan Mascia's 96th minute goal helped NorthEast United turn the tables on Kerala Blasters in a pulsating match at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium (Guwahati).

Poplatnik broke the deadlock with 17 minutes remaining but Ogbeche leveled matters from the spot for his seventh league goal this season.

The experienced striker is the second leading marksman in the Indian Super League behind FC Goa's Ferran Corominas Telechea who has tallied eight goals.

Yesterday's victory was NorthEast United's first three points at home in the new season and earned the Eelco Schattorie led side a spot in the top four.

Previously, Ogbeche played for clubs in France, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Greece, England and the Netherlands.
