Be Forward Mighty Wanderers new catch Lionel Asu says it was important to score on his debut as he helped his new side overcome resolute Surestream FC in a TNM Super League match at Kamuzu Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Asu replaced ineffective Jimmy Zakazaka at half time and with the game heading for a goalless draw, the Cameroonian striker acrobatically chipped the ball over Surestream goalkeeper Alex Makina for the games\u2019 decider in the 83rd minute.<\/p>\n
His finish was brilliant and it was welcomed by Nomads supporters who immediately started singing songs glorifying the Cameroonian import.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was important for me to score that goal. There was a lot of tension. So I had to settle the nerves,\u201d said the forward who had a stint in Thailand.<\/p>\n
Asu said his mission was to inspire Wanderers to lift the TNM Super League championship and other domestic cups.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a good squad and I want to complement the efforts of colleagues by scoring more goals. Together we can win everything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nomads team manager Steve Madeira said Asu had proved that he was a wonderful addition to the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s rare for a striker to score on his debut. Asu managed to do it in style. His goal has helped us collect maximum points otherwise Surestream were difficult to break, they gave us a good game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
