UCHE NWOFOR Upset At Cup Exit
Dutch club VVV Venlo crashed out of the KNVB Beker, after losing on penalties to Go Ahead Eagles on Tuesday evening. <br /><br />After normal and extra time, the score stood tied at 4 - 4. Nigeria youth international Uche Nwofor netted a brace for the Limburg based club.<br /><br />Nwofor, who has now scored four goals in his last three games, is clearly disappointed that VVV Venlo failed to qualify for the next round of the competition.<br /><br />He told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>: ''No one at the club is happy we lost that game through the lottery of penalty kicks. When I scored in the last minute of extra time, I thought destiny was on our side and we would be victorious in the shoot out. <br /><br />''God is the secret behind my fine form in recent games. Also, I am always working hard to do my best in all the games I get to play.''<br /><br />Venlo have other things to worry about after their exit from the Cup. After six matches in the Eredivisie and only three points garnered, the club is flirting with relegation.<br /><br />''I hope we are not going to battle with relegation this season. We recruited many players before the season started. If we can put in more effort in our games, I am positive that will help the team beat the drop,'' says Nwofor.<br /><br />VVV Venlo welcome Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven to the Seacon Stadion De Koel (Venlo) on Sunday.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
