FC Ebedei striker, Miracle Osagene, delivered a standout performance in the Match Day 2 encounter against Osun United Football Club in the ongoing Optimal Energy Gold Cup Preseason Tournament. His impressive display earned him the Man of the Match honor as he opened the scoring with a cool finish in the first 2 minutes of the game, though Osun United’s Joseph Allen quickly equalized five minutes later, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw.
Reflecting on the Group B clash, Miracle acknowledged the strength of both teams while emphasizing that there is still room for improvement. “We had a good game, and so did our opponent. We were tough, and they were tough too. They came at us, and we went after them too,” he said, highlighting the competitive nature of the match.
Despite the strong performance, Miracle was quick to point out that neither he nor the team had reached their full potential. “I would say there’s room for improvement for me, and also for the team. It was not our best game, but we all tried our best,” he added, showing his determination to keep pushing forward.
When asked about his strengths on the pitch, Miracle confidently noted his speed, scoring ability, and versatility. “I have good speed, I have great scoring ability, so I just use that the most to my advantage. I can take on defenders, I can press very high, and I can finish very well. So that’s my strength that I use on the pitch for myself and for my team,” he explained.
Looking ahead, FC Ebedei will face Ikorodu City in their second Group B match on Sunday. Miracle Osagene and his team will undoubtedly be aiming to build on their performance and secure a crucial win as they continue their journey in the Optimal Energy Gold Cup Preseason Tournament.
