Yakubu a boxing day signing for AL-Rayyan grabbed the opener in the
eighth minute, his first in seven games for the Qatar side, before
Al-Arabi leveled in the second half.
The Yak, as he is known, is a year into a two year deal with Al-Rayan
but his reputation as a top marksman has seen him play for nine
different teams in fifteen seasons and only failed to grab double
figures five times for all the clubs he has played for.
A veteran of four Africa Cup of Nations, he last played for Nigeria on
June 10, in a 2010 World cup game against South Korea, when he arguably
missed what can be rated among the worst miss of in the world cup
history when he missed an open net on the line with the goalkeeper
beaten.
However, he has a decent International goal-scoring record of scoring
in every tournament he has played for Nigeria, scoring 21 goals in his
57 appearances since his 2000 debut.
