2017 Super Eagles invitee Anthony Nwakaeme was the star of the show as Al-Fayha FC claimed a 2-1 road win against
Al-Khaleej in a Saudi Pro League match held at Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium on Thursday afternoon.
The experienced striker was decisive, netting the opening goal before providing the game-winning assist nine minutes into the second half.

Nwakaeme broke the deadlock with a beautiful penalty through the middle in the seventeenth minute.
