Super Eagles midfielder, Sunday Mba has laughed off insinuations that he only scores goals when Nigeria’s national team play on Sundays.
Mba attained legendary football status in Nigeria after his winning goals against the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
The Enugu Rangers man netted both goals, in the quarterfinals and final of the competition, on Sundays.
The 25-year-old scored twice as Nigeria thrashed the Ivory Coast 4-1 in a 2014 African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier against the Ivory Coast at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on yesterday.
“People say I always score on Sundays and can’t score if we play games on other days. It is funny because the two goals I scored at the 2013 Afcon were great goals that coincidentally came on Sundays,” he told supersport.com.
He then took the time to appraise Saturday’s performance against Les Elephants who were reduced to nine men late on.
“I don’t think we played badly (against the Ivoirians). It is usually more complicated to play against teams that are reduced in numbers.
