[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria Belgium Godwin Saviour star of Week 7 in Belgium [/size] Nigeria forward Godwin Saviour has been named the star of Week 7 of the Belgian second division after he helped his club to a third straight win at the weekend. The 20-year-old forward did not score when KSV Roeselare defeated Union Saint-Gilloise 2-1, but he was the best player on the park. It has been a remarkable progress in three weeks for the Nigeria U23 international after a subdued debut in a 4-1 thrashing at Tubize in Week 4. Saviour may now have scored two goals, but it has been his overall play that has caught the eye since his arrival from neigbours KV Oostende, who feature in the top league. He plays with the team and his runs create space for his teammates to operate better. Thanks to his influence, Roeselare are now second on the table with 11 points from seven matches, four points behind leaders Lierse. Both teams clash at Lierse Sunday morning. africanfootball.com/news/650420/Godwin-Saviour-star-of-Week-7-in-Belgium [/b] 1 Like |

Other star performers on Sunday include Nwobodo’s Rangers teammate Chisom Egbuchulam, who also scored in Abeokuta and could have scored a second spectacular goal had Bobby Clement not helped on the effort from an offside position; as well as 3SC defender Samuel Olabisi’s header which beat Wikki and ensured the Ibadan club will stay up again.

Pavarotti: This team is really hurting right now, i won't be moved if he starts playing right from january. German football will do him good, especially if Rohr watches his back. 1 Like |

NIGERIAN TEEN WONDER OSIMHEN TAKES SQUAD NUMBER AT WOLFSBURG, SCORES ON DEBUT  $Victor Osimhen got his career at Wolfsburg off to a flying start with a goal for the German side in their 6-2 win over Regionnaliga side Lupo Martini, in a charity game meant to raise funds for victims of earthquake in Amartice, Italy. Osimhen struck in the 22nd minute to give fans of Wolfsburg a glimpse of what to expect when he turns 18 and formally signs a professional contract. Speaking after the game, the former U-17 highest goal scorer expressed his happiness over the outcome of the game. However the 17 year old already has his eyes on helping goal shy Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. ” Thank you lord, happy to play in the charity game and also get a goal. Still anticipating for the bigger stage” He posted on his facebook account. He also appears to have settled for a first team jersey number which happens not to be his favourite number 9 shirt instead it is 18, which was last worn by Brazilian defender Dante.
