Midfielder Ivan Wani has expressed his delight after scoring his first goal for Busoga United Football Club.
Wani opened the scores as the Jinja based outfit secured a 2-0 win against Express FC on Friday at the Mighty Arena. The other goal was scored by Boban Zirintusa.
The South Sudanese International revealed to Kawowo Sports that he had eagerly waited for this moment and he was happy to help his team start the year on a high.
“I’m happy that I finally scored my first goal at the club. I always wanted to score but it had not come in the previous games. This will definitely motivate me to work harder.” He said.
