Nigerian forward Chibuike Ohizu continues to prove his worth in the South African Premiership with yet another moment of magic.
The 28-year-old showed grit and timing, netting a late equaliser that salvaged a crucial point for Sekhukhune United in a tense 1-1 draw against Magesi FC at the Peter Mokaba Stadium, Footballrover reports.
It was a game where the hosts started brightly, with Delano Abrahams putting Magesi ahead just 14 minutes in.
That early blow had Sekhukhune chasing shadows for much of the first half. Despite the setback, Chibuike Ohizu remained composed and determined, waiting for his moment to shine.

That moment came in the 78th minute. Ohizu, sharp and relentless, latched onto an opening and fired home his sixth goal of the season—his most crucial yet.
Having now featured in 18 league matches, the Nigerian striker is building a reputation for being the man to call upon when it matters most.
The equaliser not only sealed a draw but also extended Sekhukhune United’s unbeaten run to five matches, comprising two draws and three wins.
The club remains in third place on the table with 45 points, though still 16 points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who hold two games in hand.
Still, with Chibuike Ohizu in form, the dream remains alive.
Daniel Job’s decisive touch keeps Egersund in the early race
Over in Norway, another Nigerian talent was making headlines.
The teenage sensation delivered a decisive assist to help FK Egersund to a 1-1 draw away at Odd during matchday 5 of the Obos-Ligaen.
The 19-year-old midfielder has already notched a goal and an assist in just five appearances, showing signs of becoming a consistent playmaker.
In a match tightly contested from the start, Daniel Job combined brilliantly with Horenus Tadesse just before the halftime whistle to give Egersund the lead.
But late heartbreak followed when Odd’s Oliver Hagen equalised in the 88th minute.
Despite the disappointment, Egersund remain second in the league standings, level on 13 points with leaders Lillestrom.
Job continues to show composure and flair far beyond his age, giving fans plenty to cheer for.
