Odion lghalo can’t stop scoring against his former side – Al Shabab, the forward grabbed the game-winning goal in extra time to send Al Hilal to the Saudi Kings Cup final.
Al Shabab lost 2-1 to Al Hilal in the semi-final match, with the Super Eagles’ striker’s goal giving Al Hilal a clean victory on Sunday night.
Just days after recovering from the international break, the former Watford man shocked Al Shabab once more with his goal-scoring brilliance.
Éver Banega fired the visitors ahead from a spot kick in the 63rd minute, but Salman Al-Faraj pulled his team back into the game nine minutes later.
Ighalo struck the game-winning goal after 105 minutes of play to advance the Ramón Daz squad to the final.
The defenders of Al Shabab were unable to stop the Nigerian forward, who produced a spectacular goal from outside the 18-yard box to give his team the win.
The strike gives the 32-year-old his 23rd goal in all competitions this season. They will face either Al-Fayha or Al-Ittihad in the final.
When Al Shabab takes on Mumbai City in the AFC Champions League Group stage on Friday, April 8, they will be looking to avenge their loss.
No wonder Super Eagles coach called him back to the squad. The forward is on fire.
