Former Fc Platinum and Ngezi Platinum winger Blessing Sahondo has kept ablaze Central Region Division One soccer league after netting again for his telecom based TelOne in a one sided affair against Gokwe boys Paramount at Ascot stadium this past Saturday.
For a diminutive player who is physically appealing like Lionel Messi, most football fanatics are amazed by his stunning performances.
‘Odega’ as he is popularly known in the local football circles, also netted twice on week 10 round of fixtures in a sizzling derby that folded 2-2 against a veterans-driven Chapungu.
Sahondo’s solitary goal last Saturday increased his scoring tally from seven to eight goals in 12 matches.
Commenting on his stellar performance so far, Sahondo said that an eight to nothing loot against a dismal Filabusi side by the Wi-Fi boys has been the most memorable outing for him this season.
He scored twice that game.
“My best game so far is the one we played against Filabusi at Ascot Stadium. I managed to score and my teammates also managed to bang the net which is a good thing,” he said.
The striker wishes to play more and make more memorable achievements as the league progresses.
“Yes, I have been scoring goals but l am not feeling great because I want to aim higher, achieve something more than this. My greatest wish is to become top goal scorer of the year,” added Sahondo.
He commended gaffer Tendai Chikuni for giving him the opportunity.
“Chikuni is one of the best coaches I have ever met and I thank him for giving me an opportunity to play. One of my goals is not to disappoint the head coach and the rest of the team,” he remarked.
