Ex-Super Eagles forward Odion Jude Ighalo was the hero again on Friday in Al Wehdah's 1-2 away win over Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Playing away from home, Al Wehdah took over the game from the blast of the whistle, and their efforts paid off in the 27th minute with the opening goal through Ighalo

The host came out smoking in the second half and seized control of the game.

They were able to get a well-deserved equalizer in the 66th minute with a decent finish from Sheriff.

The former Nigerian international kept the game safe for the away as he scored the second goal from the penalty spot toward the end of the game 

Ighalo was replaced in the 95th minute and he received a standing ovation from the crowd for his outstanding performance in the game.

Ighalo has scored 13 goals this season for Al Wehdah.
