UCHE NWOFOR Upset At Cup Exit
Published: September 26, 2012
Dutch club VVV Venlo crashed out of the KNVB Beker, after losing on penalties to Go Ahead Eagles on Tuesday evening.
After normal and extra time, the score stood tied at 4 - 4. Nigeria youth international Uche Nwofor netted a brace for the Limburg based club.
Nwofor, who has now scored four goals in his last three games, is clearly disappointed that VVV Venlo failed to qualify for the next round of the competition.
He told allnigeriasoccer.com: ''No one at the club is happy we lost that game through the lottery of penalty kicks. When I scored in the last minute of extra time, I thought destiny was on our side and we would be victorious in the shoot out.
''God is the secret behind my fine form in recent games. Also, I am always working hard to do my best in all the games I get to play.''
Venlo have other things to worry about after their exit from the Cup. After six matches in the Eredivisie and only three points garnered, the club is flirting with relegation.
''I hope we are not going to battle with relegation this season. We recruited many players before the season started. If we can put in more effort in our games, I am positive that will help the team beat the drop,'' says Nwofor.
VVV Venlo welcome Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven to the Seacon Stadion De Koel (Venlo) on Sunday.
