Telecoms Games:Etisalat Beats Alcatel

Etisalat Nigeria lived up to their pre-match
promise of bouncing back to contention in
the 2013 Nigeria Telecommunication
Games with Tekena Orugbani turning in a
superlative performance that netted four
of the goals in their to 5-0 defeat of Alcatel
Lucent.

The goals have catapulted the Etisalat
forward on equal numbers with Alichie
Ihekwumere of MTN in the chase for the
Golden Boot. But the goals were late in
coming as the first half was without goals
on either side only for the Etisalat squad to
go on rampage for the haul of goals.

"I am so happy to have scored four goals
in this game, especially after we had been
beaten 4-0 in the previous week,"
Orugbani said.
For Enebeli Andrew, the victory has erased
the disappointment of their loss to MTN in
the opening match last week.

But Hassan Olumide, the captain of Alcatel
while acknowledging that they had an off
day blamed the pitch as a factor that
contributed to their defeat.

"We are used to playing on synthetic turf
but came here to play on a turf that our
opponents are used to. But we are not
deterred especially as we have the
opportunity to practice here before our
next match against MTN," he said.
