Ezekiel Imoh scored a goal on his league debut for Qatari club Al Arabi as they beat Al Khor 3-1 on the opening day of action Thursday night.
Imoh, who cost his Qatari club a whopping five million Euros,was outstanding as his speed and skills committed the opponents’ defence to give away a penalty early in the match.
Wearing the no 39 jersey, the Nigeria striker opened his goals account in Qatar in the 35th minute, when he cashed in on a defensive mix-up.
But for poor marksmanship he could well have crowned his debut with a hat-trick as he fluffed two other clear chances in front of goal.
Imoh,the son of a security man in Lagos,was most sought after by several European clubs after his goals for top Belgian club Standard Liege, but opted for the cash offered by Al Arabi.
