First league goal excites Hapoel Beer Sheva’s Nwakaeme

The Nigerian striker got his maiden goal in the Isreali 2017-18 topflight campaign to help the Camels to a victory over Jordi Cruyff’s side

Hapoel Beer Sheva’s Anthony Nwakaeme scored his first Isreali Premier League goal of the season against Maccabi Tel Aviv, and he has expressed satisfaction with getting off the mark.

The ten-man Camels ran out 2-1 winners over Maccabi at the Turner Stadium on Monday evening and it was the 28-year-old that started the party with a stunning curler from the left side of the area in the 62nd minute.

Six minutes later, Ben Sahar doubled the lead for Barak Bakhar’s side before Omer Atzili pulled one back for Jordi Cruyff’s men in the 89th minute.

And the Super Eagles invitee has taken to the social media to express his pleasure.

“Great team spirit with good energy from the fans. I shake the net with a goal,” Nwakaeme captioned an Instagram post.

Compatriot and teammate , John Ogu who had promised a return for the tie after picking an injury in last week’s Europa League encounter against FCSB was not dressed for the game.
