Barth Ogbeche grabbed a vital 90th minute equalising goal for his side P.S.G. in the French cup. PSG were playing at home to Troyes and elimination would have been a shock one.
PSG eventually won the tie 3-2 after extra time.
IN the meantime, in the Spanish second Division, James Obiorah continued where he had left off before the Christmas break, by grabbing another goal for his side Cadiz. Unfortunately, the goal was useless as his side lost 2-1 at Levante.
Kingsley Ekeh has also scored in the Portugeuse First division. The match is still being played (60 minutes) and his side (beira mar) are losing 2-1 away to Moreirense.

James Obiorah seems to be rounding back to form. I'm hoping that Cadiz wins promotion to the Primera Liga, so that we can see him in La Liga next season.
MYSTIC: With the defection of MArtins, I was wondering if he might have been in good enough form to challenge for a shirt at Faro. Then again, his club might have had problems releasing him.
There is no bigger fan of Obiorah than myself, but I think that it rather late in the day to invite him. Besides, I don't see him as a replacement for Martins as he is more of an attacking midfielder cum striker, rather than an out and out striker.
That being said, an 'in form' Obiorah belongs on the national team, and I would love to see him back in the mix after the Cup of Nations.
I'm serious..... - I just need to know his form. To a team a goal is a goal - but to a striker a goal is not always a goal - especially when one is trying to rate his stock

With all due respect (that means I no wan fight) - I think we should drop this Martins issue - there is no need crying over spilt milk.
We just won't invite him when he really wants to come.
OGBECHIE, men that is lovely news... IS LONG OVER DUE, how I wish we can start back dating it like PROMOTION. He may sure book a place in the list... pls more of that - then your shirt will be guarantee.
Is it me or is it that when it is close to a tournament, WC or ANC, some of our fringe players put in a top performance capped by a goal and then fade away once the tournament kicks off
