Eleje: Why I didn't celebrate goal against Enyimba

 

Katsina United midfielder, Obinna Eleje has stated that he decided not to celebrate his goal against Enyimba on Sunday in their 2-1 home win at the Mohammadu Dikko Stadium as a mark of respect for the People's Elephant whom he had his first premier league experience with some years back.

Eleje struck in the dying minutes of the first half to level up Chinedu Ohanachom stunner in the 20th minute for the away side and he supplied the pass from which Chinedu Udechukwu bagged the winning goal in the 83rd minute.

“It was a lovely equalizer but I decided not to celebrate it out of respect for Enyimba where I started my professional career. I love the club passionately
and it was the reason I remain a fan of the club,” Eleje told Goal.

“We needed the win badly haven’t lost two consecutive matches and in the danger of slipping into the relegation zone. We worked very hard for it and it was a relieve that we got the maximum points.”

Katsina United climbed to 14th on the log with 22 points from 17 games and they will visit Plateau United in Jos in a northern derby in the concluding fixture of the first round, although they still have a game at hand at home against Rivers United.
