Derick Ogbu Laments Missed Scoring Opportunities Against Universitatea Cluj

Derick Chuka Ogbu has admitted that CFR Cluj threw away many scoring opportunities in the 2 - 1 loss to city rivals Universitatea Cluj on Monday.

The Nigerian striker restored parity for the Railwaymen in the 18th minute, 3 minutes after Valentin Lemnaru scored the opening goal of the game at  Stadionul Dr. Constantin RÄ�dulescu.

With only 10 games before the end of the league, CFR Cluj who went on a massive recruitment exercise before the start of this season are 16 points behind Petrolul Ploie�ti , who occupy the last Europa League spot.

“Every striker want to score as many goals as possible but the three point is more important.

“I scored the equalizing goal and hit the post twice, probably should have scored one or two more but we were not lucky enough.

“It is a disappointing game for us, especially losing against our local rivalry. We are now focusing on the next game in Panduri,” Chuka said to allnigeriasoccer.com.

The 24 - year - old is the top scorer for Cluj in the Romanian championship with 5 goals.
