The Great Man, Yusuf Otubanjo, is gradually showing fans of the Uzbekistan Super League what he is made of after netting a brace to inspire his team, Nasaf Qarshi, to a five-star home victory over FC Buxoro during their league game on Wednesday evening.
It took the 32-year-old forward just three games to finally get the ball rolling, as he netted twice to start off his goal-scoring account, with FC Nasaf crushing their visitors 5-0 at the Markaziy Stadium, Footballrover reports.
Yusuf Otubanjo brace powers Nasaf to big win
Otubanjo, who saw just 59 minutes of action, scored the second and fourth goals of the encounter before being replaced by Oybek Bozorov.
Recall that the Nigerian star scored well over 90 goals in the Armenia Premier League before making his move away from Pyunik Yerevan to the Uzbekistan Super League.
FC Nasaf turned the Super League – Round 21 clash into a statement of intent, dismantling Buxoro with a flurry of goals that came thick and fast.
The floodgates opened early as Khusayin Norchaev struck in the 13th minute.
Otubanjo then took centre stage, doubling the lead in the 25th before Sharof Mukhitdinov made it three just three minutes later.
By the half-hour mark, Otubanjo was back on the scoresheet to complete a lightning-quick double, leaving Buxoro stunned and the contest all but over.
Any hope of a second-half recovery was crushed almost instantly when Dragan Ceran added a fifth just two minutes after the restart.
From there, it was exhibition football—Nasaf showing their class, while Buxoro chased shadows.
