Scoring goals feels great, says Awoniyi

Flying Eagles budding talent Taiwo Awoniyi has revealed that it is such a great feeling having to score
such important goals for the nation as his brace over the weekend against Zambia’s U-23 side sealed
Nigeria’s passage to the football event of the 11th All African Games in Congo Brazzaville.
Dream Team VI coach Samson Siasia had invited five players including Taiwo Awoniyi, Captain Musa
Mohammed and Bernard Bulbwa from the victorious Flying Eagles team at the concluded 2015 African
Youth Championship (AYC).
“We give God all the glory for the victory and as a striker; you just have to do your best and score to
assist your team to win” he told footballlive.ng.
As it was expected, it took Awoniyi time to gel with the rest of the team during training sessions as it
was an unfamiliar ground for him. His rise has been sporadic after he was discovered at the U-17 level
but Awoniyi said he feels just right at home with the Dream Team.
“I believe it’s just about time; I am just starting and by God’s grace I will be there. As a striker when you
score goals you are happy,”he said.
