Rivers United defender Kazie Enyinnaya was full of praise for Morice Chukwu after his amazing free-kick goal in Monday’s 3-1 league win over Heartland Football Club.

The midfielder opened the scoring with an expertly-taken set-piece in the 6th minute of the tie at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium and his efforts were warmly received by his teammates.

“That free-kick obviously made us happy,” Kazie told Lodgexpress.com after the game.

“It’s always amazing when you see a player that, after the normal training drills, dedicates some minutes every day to practice a specific thing; to score a stunning goal of such magnitude.

“It was a big day for everyone at the club because we played so well and opened our scoring with a beautiful thunderbolt free-kick. When you play so well you win by scoring some amazing goals in free play too.”
