FIFA Friendly: Iheanacho's Goal Rescues Nigerian From Senegal Defeat

The Manchester City striker cancelled out Moussa Sow’s opener to ensure Gernot Rohr's men share the spoils with the Teranga Lions

An 83rd minute penalty from Kelechi Iheanacho helped Nigeria secure a 1-1 draw against Senegal in their friendly encounter at the Hive Stadium in London.

Moussa Sow had given the Teranga Lions an early second half lead but they could secure victory against the Super Eagles.

The Senegalese started the brighter of both sides in the opening 20 minutes with Idrissa Gueye exerting his influence. And their best chance of the half fell to Sow who rattled the woodwork from close range.

Halfway into the match, Super Eagles skipper for the night, Ogenyi Onazi was stretched off after collision with the Teranga Lions striker, Mame Diouf. The Trabzonspor midfielder was replaced by John Ogu.

And Ogu’s combination with Wilfred Ndidi at the heart of the midfield shifted the momentum to the Rohr’s men.

Nigeria could have gone ahead on two occasions, both opportunities falling to Iheanacho. The Manchester City man fizzled a low shot across the face of the Senegalese goal before missing a point blank effort after some good work from Alex Iwobi and Moses Simon. The first half ended goalless.

After the interval, the Senegalese regained dominance and were rewarded nine minutes into the half after Sow benefitted from poor defending to get the curtain raiser.

Rohr rang the changes with Ogenekaro Etebo and debutant, Isaac Success coming on for Iwobi and Simon respectively.

Etebo almost had an instant impact after an Eagles' breakaway saw Iheanacho release the Feirense attacker whose effort was parried.

However, the Eagles would have the final say in the match after Iheanacho was tripped in the area by goalkeeper Pape Ndiaye and the youngster made no mistake from 12-yard out to rescue Nigeria from their first loss under Rohr. The strike also marked his fifth in his last six games for the national team.

The Super Eagles will now play their second friendly encounter against Burkina Faso at the same venue on March 27.

BREAKING: Aleksander Ceferin Wins UEFA Presidency

UEFA on Wednesday overwhelmingly elected Slovenian lawyer Aleksander Ceferin, almost unknown three months ago, as its new president to lead the world’s most powerful football confederation into a new era after Michel Platini was forced to resign.

Ceferin, 48, beat Dutch football association chief Michael van Praag by 42 votes to 13 in the first round of voting after promising “bold” moves and an end to “intrigues” as the 55-member European body faces challenges over its flagship Champions League.

“The wind of change is blowing through European football. It is the end of one era and the start of a new one,” Ceferin said in a speech to a special congress in Athens shortly after Platini gave a farewell address and left through a side door.

Ceferin highlighted the credibility challenges facing scandal-tainted football, along with regular accusations of match-fixing and doping.

But he told a special congress in Athens: “I am not here to emphasise the negativitites that surround us. I don’t want to live in an empire of fear where every day we wake and see another negativity surfacing.

“I want to bring out all the good things UEFA has been doing and you have been doing.”

He added: “We are all tired of the current situation and look forward to a normalisation period that will be about positive things, about friendship, about football.”

Ceferin said that UEFA had to be a leader in good governance and transparency.

“We should stop with politics, plots, intrigues, lack of transparency, self-interest, it is football first. It is what I promise to all of you today, nothing more nothing less.”

On top of the absence of Platini since October, after he was suspended over a $2 million payment from FIFA, UEFA has also faced disquiet over changes to the Champions League and speculation that major clubs could break away to form their own tournament.

Messi, Father Jailed For 21mnts Over Tax Fraud

Lionel Messi, the Barcelona superstar has been given a suspended term by a Spanish court, meaning he is expected to avoid spending time behind bars

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has been handed a 21-month prison sentence for tax fraud but is unlikely to serve time in prison.

Any sentence under two years can be suspended under Spanish law, meaning Messi is expected to avoid spending a day behind bars, according to widespread reports.

Messi, one of the world's highest-paid footballers, was tried alongside his father, Jorge Horacio Messi, for deceiving Spain's tax authority of €4.1 million (£3.19m) between 2007 and 2009.

The forward, who recently announced his retirement from the Argentina national team, has also been fined six weeks' wages worth £1.7 million.

The 29-year-old was accused of creating a number of fake companies in Belize and Uruguay to avoid taxation on his lucrative image rights.

Messi claimed he never suspected any wrongdoing about his financial affairs, but a court has found both he and his father guilty in the crime.

Jorge has also been given the same sentence and both can appeal through the Supreme Court

FREESTAN SPORTS CLUB SPANK BURUJ FC 3 - 1

By Akeem Busari.

The preliminary round of the 2015/2016 Winners Golden Bet sponsored Lagos FA Cup,continued this morning at the Agege Stadium,Lagos.

In the first game played on a water-logged pitch, it was the highly rated Ajegunle based non-league ,Freestan Sports Club,that took the game to Buruj fc, dominating and bombarding the defence line of their opponents. And in the 12th minute, skillful Samuel Ogu Beto fired a freekick from 30 yards that was spilled by Buruj's keeper and
duminitive attacker Kunle Iriyemi ,was quick to tuck in the rebound
into the net for the first goal in favour of Freestan fc.
       
They continued in search of more goals with obvious difficulty on the wet and heavy pitch and in vain,until Buruj fc, got the equalizer in a rare attack to end the first stanza 1-1.     

The second half began on a faster tempo, with the hardworking midfielder and captain of Freestan fc, Felix Iriete,marshalling his side in search of the winner.  The goals were to come,as one of the inspired changes by
Freestan fc, Stephen Agha,ceaselessly tore at the opponents and scored the second goal through a solo effort. And that,truly took the winds off the sails of their opponents. The third and final goal was soon to come from Iriyemi,who made it a brace for himself after a mazy dribbling run left the entire defence of Buruj stranded.    

Speaking to the press after receiving the WGB sponsored prize of N15,000, as the MVP, Stephen Agha gave thanks to God for the victory. He also expressed his gratitude to the sponsors of the competition,as well as the Lagos FA.
