Moses On Target As Spartak Hold Leicester Away; Dessers Scores Winner In Feyenoord’s Win At Union Berlin

Moses On Target As Spartak Hold Leicester Away; Dessers Scores Winner In Feyenoord’s Win At Union Berlin

Victor Moses opened his goals account for the season as he scored in Spartak Moscow’s 1-1 draw at Leicester City, in Group C of the Europa League on Thursday, Completesports.com reports.

Also in action was Kelechi Iheanacho who saw action for 90 minutes.

It was Moses’ first goal in 16 appearances in all competitions for Spartak Moscow so far in this campaign.

Spartak took the lead in the 51st minute thanks to Moses who started the move, lifting the ball to Ruslan Litvinov before barrelling into the area and was left unmarked to glance in Mikhail Ignatov’s fine cross.

But Leicester were behind for just seven minutes as Ghana’s Daniel Amartey headed in after Ayoze Perez flicked on Ryan Bertrand’s corner.

Jamie Vardy was then summoned from the bench with 20 minutes left and, five minutes later, blew the golden chance when Moses fouled Ademola Lookman in the box.

It would have been an instant impact but the Vardy’s penalty was poor and Selikhov pushed it away.

The result means Leicester are now in third position on five points while Spartak are bottom on four points with two games left to play.

Napoli top the group and are on seven points with Legia Warsaw in second spot on six points.

In Group F, Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika played for 90 minutes as Midtjylland beat Red Star Belgrade 1-0 away.

Midtjylland occupy third position on five points just four points separate them from leaders Sporting Brats.

And in the Europa Conference League, Cyriel Dessers scored the winning goal as Feyenoord defeated Taiwo Awoniyi’s Union Berlin 2-1 in Group E.

It was Dessers’ first goal after four appearances in the competition. He now has five goals in 16 appearances in all competitions.

While Dessers was brought on in the 64th minute, Awoniyi came on in the 59th minute.

With score at 1-1, Dessers netted what proved to be the winner in the 72nd minute for the Dutch giants.

Union Berlin had two players sent off with Christopher Trimmel (scorer for Union Berlin) and Cedric Teuchert given their matching orders.

Following the win, Feyenoord extend their lead at top as they are now on 10 points and are four points above secons-placed Peter Olayinka’s Slavia Prague.

Union Berlin are in fourth with three points after four games played.

    Hmm.
    We recall an Ighalo who played one full year at Manchester United and couldn’t score a single league goal, and drop Dessers (of similar build but younger, more lethal striker) who plays in a top league and also in a UEFA competition?

    • Ighalo had only a short spell at Manchester and within the time, he played 11 games as sub. That is not enough to rate his league scoring prowess. There is no denying the fact, he is an established striker. My concern here is Leicester’s Lookman, that boy is a wonder and he is going places. How do we get him to play for SE?

      • DiMastta 2 years ago

        Oga January 2020 to January 2021 is one full year, one complete season.
        We are talking about impact and goals in League matches and not Carabao/FA Cup games with lower division teams.

        Cavani (an older player) was brought in as same condition as Ighalo and he made good impact and goals in EPL games.
        CR7 (a much more older player than Ighalo) has done same both in the EPL and UCL.

        Dessers likewise as Ighalo, being a perpetual substitute at Feyenoord has league and Continental impact and goals.

        My point is bringing back idolised ancestors in the stead of a more potent player only lead to recessions.

        You only have to look back 2015 and 2019.

        You are an idiot, stupid hypocrite @drey double standard man

        • On the social space. I think CSN should find away to prevent this thing from polluting this place. It should delete what’s not healthy.

        • Dr. Drey 2 years ago

          It is the animals that raised you that are idiots.

        • Hmmm @Derrick don’t wast your time arguing with some people you are bigger than that. I feel you bro, 2 min vids is not exactly special most players have 8 -11 mins Highlight reels.

          POSTING VIDEO”S OF THE SAME IGHALO WHOM WE WERE ALL ATTACKING OLE FOR NOT FIELDING IN HIS TIME AT MAN U INFACT SOME PEOPLE POSTING VIDS ARE THE SAME ONES WHO WERE SAYING IGHALO JUST WENT TO MAN U TO CHOP MONEY AND SIT ON BENCH. TWISTED INDIVIDUALS. SMH!!

          • Dr. Drey 2 years ago

            Hahahahaha…What is retard saying….LMAOOoo. ZERO COHERENCE. ZERO SENSE.

            2 minutes videos that bust liars like you and your bunch of ill-bred kindergartens.

            Pls post the comments of the “….PEOPLE WHO WERE SAYING IGHALO JUST WENT TO MAN U TO CHOP MONEY AND SIT ON BENCH…..” you pathetic liar……thank God CSN does not delete comments. LMAOoooo

            In one breath, you have been running around this forum for days like a lunatic shouting and biting trees that Ighalo isnt a good striker, yet in the same breath you are claiming “….WERE ALL ATTACKING OLE FOR NOT FIELDING IN HIS TIME AT MAN U….” LMAOOooo. Pathetic lair…..LMAOooo. So why where you attacking Ole for not fielding Ighalo if he weren’t a good stiker…..LMAOOoooo. Its either you were insane or just pure stupid

            Go and delete the video from youtube because the creator of the content did not make a 60 minute highlight reel from 7 starts and a total of 750+ minutes of game time in a United shirt by featuring every touch of the ball by ighalo. Common sense, you just dont have.

            Video evidence has slapped the lunatic and his lying brethren, he now turned on the length of the video for criticism…..LMAOOoooooo

            You are truly big…..LMAOooo…cant you see you are even bigger than the pacific ocean….??? LMAOoooooo

    • Chinenye 2 years ago

      My dear @DIMastta ighalo’s recall was all shades of Pinnick not even Rohr. I can bet Rohr does not want him but had to succumb to the powers from the top.

      Especially after I read his confession about what happened in the Argentina game at the 2018 WC. Why he could not bring substitute more midfielders to shore things up and take away a tired Musa in the dying minute of the match. This man said he was told not to touch Musa

      This is a big evidence to prove he’s dancing to the tune of his masters and why he’s been retained all this while because an A list foreign coach cannot tolorate such nonsense from Nigerians

    • Jide Dola 2 years ago

      Is only in Nigeria you see football politics, if you say is politics atleast it is glaring that Rohr has 80 percent say on the list, you didn’t see politics that made Man u put Ighalo on bench, go back and watch his performance in Man U again, you will know that he deserves more minutes. Then you are comparing desser with Ighalo, has he even come close to playing in Man U or did you think Man u signed him on loan to make him happy, remember before he went to Man u it was baca that came first. Then you are rating desser above Ighalo, desser that didn’t even score in the last few matches, he should prove himself by becoming sort for in bigger league.

      • Chinenye 2 years ago

        If playing for man u is not a parameter for rating players then he shouldn’t be inviting now he’s playing for elshabab

        Kelvin Prince Boateng also played for Barca but you can’t compare him with the Kelvin Prince Boateng that played for fc Portsmouth in England

        Once again invitation should be based on form not “I get am before “

  • Oseodion Inegbenebor 2 years ago

    @DiMastta, you have no reason to lie. Ighalo scored 4 goals immediately he joined MAN U. He left MAN U due to covid-19 impact. There was a lull in general activities and sport was not an exception. See the link below.

    Meanwhile, with the exploits of SE players in their respective club sides, it shows there is a glimmer of hope in things to come.

  • “Napoli top the group and are on seven points with Legia Warsaw in second spot on six points”. WHO SAW THIS GAME? AND WHAT WAS THE SCORE? IM NOT SEEING ANYTHING ON THE WWBSITES. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR COMPATRIOTS. I FEEL GOOD WHEN THEY ARE SCORING. UP SE PLAYERS, UP NIGERIA!!!

  • @DiMastta try and be constructive for once.

    @Ken, I saw this match. Victor Moses opened his goals account for the season as he scored in Spartak Moscow’s 1-1 draw at Leicester City, in Group C of the Europa League on Thursday… A great game, a prolific Moses. Nigeria is blessed. I think we should encourage Moses to come out of retirement and tie the boots once again for his fatherland. That will be historical, or what did you think?

    • Stop convincing unwilling horses. It will backfire. We have carried what happened in politics to football. We go to beg politics who are not ready to come and rule.

      We are confused. Moses has scored one goal now, he is the ‘anointed messiah’ now. He will come back and start choosing matches he would play.

      Before the nations cup, we have already started disturbing the rythm and unity of the team. Rohr is overdue to go after afcon. He has tried his best.

      I have commended him for bringing unity back into the team in the past. He also brought openess in player selection. But he has allowed thr Nigerian factor to envelope him.

      All these talks about the experience ighalo will bring I rubbish. Who says a greenhorn can’t take a tournament by storm. Aghanhowa did it and more.

      Who says awoniyi, sodiq Umar and desserrs can’t do well at afcon. I wish the team well.

      • @Christian Ministries Nigeria try and be reasonable bros. Are calling for rthe Recall of Moses to score goals or to assist bt creating them and whipping in deadly crosses. this is how you should reason constructively Moses against Leicseter has 2 assists and 1 goal. Moses has about 5-6 assists and 1 goal in the Europa League what doest that tell you bro?.

        Bringing down the performing Nigerians in world Football today and elevating mediocrity does not help our cause. Be wise bro.

        Thank you!

        • Mind you it is only group stages and the group is still wide open. Moses was the man of the match against Victor Osimhen’s Napoli, granted Osimhen only played 1 half in that game as he was being rested for the League match. That being said Victor Moses is an Outstanding player in good form at the moment.

          P.s don’t be surprised to see him at Spurs in January as it is no secret Antonio Conte is a Victor Moses admirer.

    • RESPECT IS RECIPROCAL 2 years ago

      THE REASON MOSES WILL NOT COME IS BECAUSE OF ROHR .SOME PLAYERS LIKE MIKEL AND OBI RETIRE AFTER THE WORLD CUP BECAUSE THEY KNEW ROHR WAS NOT COMPETENT. WHEN YOU SEE THE MANNERS WE LOST TO ARGENTINA ,IT’S OBVIOUS THIS MAN IS BELOW AVERAGE .

      • Ayphillydegreat 2 years ago

        Oga find another excuse. Mikel retired after the AFCON in 2019 and Obi was in the AFCON qualifiers after the WorldCup. Just because you despise Rohr doesn’t mean you should come here to flaunt lies all over the place.

      • Jide Dola 2 years ago

        Somebody is saying what is wrong buh because of the hatred for Rhor you are still giving him like, Rohr haters are the most sentimental people.

    • Victor Moses should come back of retirement

  • MONKEY POST 2 years ago

    @Dr Drey @Kels @Oseodion I believe @DiMastta is talking about ighalo not scoring a premier league goal for Man U

    • Henry 2 years ago

      His was a deliberate attempt aimed at pull him down. We have seen Odion Ighalo spent only 12 months in Manchester United and out of who which played only 11 league matches coming on as sub. What else?

      • Saturday 2 years ago

        Don’t mind the idiot, a noise maker. There lives na agitation which they have carried to complete sports.

        • Legendary 2 years ago

          Solid solid performance. I say it again that we need this guy back. Not as a winger but as a RWB. I know many people will be against this, but I watched the two matches vs Leicester. Leicester hardly attacked his side. Even Lookman couldn’t take him on completely yesterday and had to resolve passing around. Very very great performance Victor! He seemed more disciplined than before too. His experience yesterday tooo. Bring back victor Moses

        • Chinenye 2 years ago

          @Sarturday try to be coming to this platform with your senses instead of leaving it in the cupboard

      • Ighalo played 11 league matches for Man Utd?…..are you for real?

        • Henry 2 years ago

          Are you sure you read the heading of the write up?

          OKAY,

          • Chinenye 2 years ago

            I couldn’t careless about the no of matches he played at man u.He simply has no business in SE.

            Let the young guns take over cause it’s their time. If Musa at 22 could perform in his ist WC appearance against an experience Argentina team then I see no reason People like Dressler, Awoniyi etc should not be trusted enough. Spain did not not look at what fabregas and Ramos did for them at the WC and Euros like we still do for Musa at the WC. Selection should be purely on current form

            Rohr has capped upto 5foreign born players and ended up dumping them after 1 or 2 caps so congratulations to Ike Ugbo on a decision well taken. Man would have capped and dump you after 1 match to go recall Rashidi Yekini from his graveyard in the name of “crucial” world cup and afcon
            qualifiers

            Don’t even get me started with lazy ass NFF who takes till eternity to proccess players switch to Nigeria. Ike Ugbo as at September declared his intentions to play for Nigeria and between Sept and Nov he’s already a Canadian player but if it’s to interfere on Rohr’s team they would be as fast as speed of light

    • Dr. Drey 2 years ago

      So it is in the 2 and 3 minutes he was coming on from the bench in EPL games he should have emerged top scorer abi…?

      It remains on record that Ighalo scored 5 goals and produced one assist in the about 7 games he started during his stay at Man U.

      If he was useless in his 1st loan deal Man Utd legends wouldn’t have been insisting his contract be extended. Even ROY KEANE of all people was amongst those who were praising Ighalo at the end of his 1st loan deal which was the highlight of his Man u stay.

    • DiMastta 2 years ago

      Thank you my dear. English language comprehension and summary must have been very difficult for some while in school.
      LEAGUE goals was the emphasis.
      One ‘full’ season, 38 games available, no sidelining injury and still ZERO goals.

      It tells you much more than you need to know. And please no silly excuse about the coach not giving him more minutes. If he was good and fit enough like Cavani and CR7,the coach would do so.

      Dessers is barely making same game time, but see the output; goals and tons of missed shots on target.

  • Cyril Dessers!!!

  • AT A POINT IT BECAME A TUG OF WAR BETWEEN MOSES AND LOOKMAN LOL….LOOKMAN FOULED MOSES COUNTLESS TIME AND MOSES ALSO FOULED LOOKMAN. IT WAS AN INTERESTING MATCH THOUGH SEEN ALMOST 4 NIGERIANS IN A SINGLE MATCH..
    INDIDI
    KELECHI
    MOSES
    LOOKMAN

    • 4 Nigerians you see bro all we are asking for is that we see the same Tug of War in th enational team hence we keep asking for the best legs. you quite rightly pointed out how good it is to see 4 names in such a game. so why are only 2 on the list. When 1 is cleared and the other just needed a call like Ighalo got. Now Musa who can not even compete at this level any longer is taking the place of either Moses and Lookman.

      I don’t understand Rohr Lovers they see such news but do not question Rohr when Lists are out.

      Is it too much.

  • Cyriel Dessers should be invited to the Super Eagles to hard bite to the attack. He is a great striker and attack minded player with great potential. Coah Rohr and NFF should please take note.

    Thanks

      Let say you can only invite 3 strikers, who are the strikers you you will invite, let’s hear you?

  • 2OO6 Nigeria didnt qualify for world cup heaven did fall, 2018 Italy of al people didnt qualify, the world never changed, why should we deny the younger players and the team bond plus chemistry already witnessing in the super eagles to some one who already retired since 2018? talking about Ighalo’s call up…it’s absolutely not needed. let the Lad learn from their mistake, let them learn in hard way, age is still very much on their side, believe me, they have tasted defeat, and they will always do anything to avoid that. it was what played out in the return legs to CAR. they fought gallantly and they were two goals up in the first half. my humble opinion pls. the world will still not crumble if they fail to qualify for world pls, but, trust me, they will come back strongly and better. someone should just guarantee me that with the presence of Ighalo, we are winning THE WORLD CUP.

  • MONKEY POST 2 years ago

    @Dr Drey the minutes doesn’t matter. It is what you do with the minutes given to you that count…And that alone can encourage the coach to add more playing time to you….This is football, anything goes. It only takes a second to score a goal. We have seen players that were sub on with few minutes left but ended up banging brace, Hart trick etc.

    • Jide Dola 2 years ago

      The same player that score hat trick within 15 minutes may play 90 minutes the following match without goal, why is he scoring when he start if time do not matter. We know that player will have more involvement with quality number of time.

    Dear CSN stakeholders,
       After thorough evaluation of current state of our sports/football and possible ways to improve it, I thought it was important to make a formal request to CSN. Specifically, this message is directed to Chief Ojaegbese and Dr. Alao whom to me are pivotal to the greatest achievements we have had in Sports. Together with chief Odegbami’s weekly servo, you gave the country exquisite, incorruptible, and unambiguous reports,interviews,and investigation on major issues. The question is what has gone wrong ? These days, publications on major issues and reports are too misleading and lopsided.. Who are your reporters/stakeholders afraid of ( Is it Picnick, Roar, their agents, or all) ?..The standard of reporting by CSN has really headed South.. Why are we not getting direct interviews on pressing issues (asking those in authorities why some inactive players are always selected ahead of active ones in the same positions?, why are retirees in semi leagues  being considered ahead of active players in top 5 leagues? Why is it taking so long to complete the change of nationality of our players ?)
    Considering, the perceived level of nepotism, corruption and irresponsiblility in our sports management & national teams specifically Super Eagles), When is CSN going to start digging into all these concerns and providing fans with the truth ?
    Although I believe taking actions to address my formal request to the what, why, who and when in this message is crucial to strengthening our sports,i have to state here that you are not required to consider my requests.
    My hope for a complete change in the ways things are done in Nigeria remains unwavering. I hope one day all karma catches up with the bad eggs  (Bad and greedy leaders and their followers/hailers) ofthis country soon.

  • Benakay 2 years ago

    Cyriel Dessers would not score a simpler goal – that was a gimme by the Union Keeper. Awoniyi came in during the second half – so did Dessers.
    Makes sense that all our top strikers be considered for the AFCON. However, really don’t trust Rohr in that regard.
    He is under tremendous pressure to produce a trophy and he is going back to his tried and tested players. Wouldn’t be surprised if Victor Moses and Mikel are brought back by Rohr. He has no time for developing players.

    The Union Berlin vs. Feyenoord game…

  • Cyril Dessers is a game changer, Nff and Mr. Rohr should please take note. He can be so useful as Attacking midfielder. He has the skills that is lacking in the super eagles. He should please be given more chance to prove Himself. He can be use as a secret weapon in the nation’s cup. Cyril Dessers and Victor Moses should please be considered for next year nation’s cup If we want to go far in the tournament.
