Ujah stakes claim for World Cup shirt

Nigeria striker Anthony Ujah grabbed the headline as he netted his 2nd goal in 3 games for Cologne when they won 3-1 against 14th-placed VFL Bochum on Monday in the Germany Bundesliga 2.


The Super Eagles attacker reminded fans of his predatory instinct when he scored in the home league game. It was a delight to watch the player who replaced Patrick Helmes.

He was sent-on by coach Peter Stoger as a 76th minute substitute, to boost the strike-force of the club - and announced himself with a touch of brilliance on his way to delivering the bomb in the 81st minute of play.
Prior to Monday night’s game, the former Lillestrom star had netted 8 goals in 30 appearances for the already promoted outfit.

With his performance, Ujah is now expected to get a start in the next league match at Ingolstadt on Friday - as he moves closer to his mission of convincing Super Eagles boss Stephen Okechukwu Keshi in including him for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Ujah, 23, joined Cologne at the start of last season from Mainz after spending an uneventful time at the Coface Arena.
