Super Eagles defender Chidozie Awaziem experienced a dramatic evening on Sunday as he scored at both ends of the pitch in FC Nantes’ 1-1 draw against Lorient.
It was a bitter-sweet moment for the Nigerian international, who first put the ball into his own net early in the second half, handing Lorient the lead in a tightly contested encounter.
However, Awaziem redeemed himself in spectacular fashion, rising highest to head home a late equalizer deep into stoppage time, securing a crucial point for Nantes and sparking wild celebrations among the home fans.
The defender showed great character and composure to bounce back from the mistake and play a decisive role in the outcome of the match.
Nantes remain in the battle for mid-table stability, and Awaziem’s resilience proved vital in avoiding defeat.
