2017 Super Eagles invitee continues his fine form with 4th goal in 6 games for Al-Fayha

2017 Super Eagles invitee Anthony Nwakaeme was the star of the show as Al-Fayha FC claimed a 2-1 road win against 
Al-Khaleej in a Saudi Pro League match held at Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium on Thursday afternoon. 

The experienced striker was decisive, netting the opening goal before providing the game-winning assist nine minutes into the second half. 

Today marks the first time Al-Fayha FC have managed to win a game in which their Nigerian star got on the scoresheet. 

Nwakaeme broke the deadlock with a beautiful penalty through the middle in the seventeenth minute. 

The 33-year-old netted his first goal in Al-Fayha colours in the draw with Abha Club, before scoring in back-to-back defeats to Al Shabab and Al-Adalah FC.
