Alhassan Ibrahim's Wait For Austria Vienna Maiden Goal Ends After 332 Minutes
Published: October 01, 2017Nigeria international Alhassan Ibrahim's wait for his first goal in the colours of Austria Vienna finally ended when he struck in the second half of their 2-0 win over Rheindorf Altach on game week ten in the Austrian Bundesliga.
The former Flying Eagles and Golden Eaglets star spent 332 minutes on the pitch in total before scoring his first goal outside the shores of Nigeria.
Despite firing blanks in his first four matches across all competitions, Austria Vienna manager Thorsten Fink kept faith with Alhassan by naming him in the starting eleven versus Rheindorf Altach, and he repaid the confidence placed in him by opening the scoring at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in the 72nd minute.
The 20-year-old had scored 12 goals for Akwa United in the Nigeria Professional Football League before moving abroad in search of the proverbial golden fleece.
The attack-minded player has started four of the five matches he has played so far, while he was introduced in the second half against Vöcklamarkt in the Cup.
Ahead of the second international break of the season, Austria Vienna sit third on the table with 18 points.
