A rare goal in Australia:
Australia A League
Gold Coast United FC - Central Coast Mariners FC 1:3
13' Bernie Ibini-Isei (Central Coast Mariners FC) (0:1)
Born in Nigeria, raised in Australia, Bernie is eligible for two countries. Supposedly one of the biggest youth talents ever in Australian football and at 18 the 187cm tall striker is starting to see some first team football,

I'm not sure, but it seems Ifeanyi Innocent Emeghara and Innocent Emeghara are two separate people. The age difference is about 6-7 years and Innocent Emeghara supposedly isn't capped, Than again it could be the first one pretending to be younger

Hey. Scandinavia is definitely worth a look as Africans are the best players in those leagues. Nonetheless it is out of season so not much happening there.

The other Obinna (Nwaneri) on the other hand managed to beat his own keeper, keeping this thread positive I'll leave that occurence alone.
