“I did have a premonition I was going to score before the game, I always want to add goals to every game I play, ” said Kingsley Sokari to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“But I will say the goal I scored in the World Cup is the best goal, for me.

“During the interval, the coach said we have to double our efforts to make sure we score the first goal.”

After playing only one match, the Samson Siasia - led side are already through to the semi - finals of the competition, with their next game against Senegal only for classification purposes in Group B.
