Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Super Eagles defender Chidozie Awaziem has expressed his delight after scoring the decisive goal for Croatian club, Hadjuk Split for the second consecutive game.<\/p>\n

Awaziem fired home the winner in the ninth minute of stoppage time as Hadjuk Split defeated Varazdin 2-1 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The goal came barely a week after the centre-back netted the winning strike in the club\u2019s 1-0 win at Rijeka.<\/p>\n

It has been a remarkable turnaround for the Nigeria international who was criticised early in the season by Hadjuk Split fans.<\/p>\n

The home fans also sang his name after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I\u2019m very happy; it\u2019s hard for me to describe what I feel, but believe me, it\u2019s fantastic,\u201d Awaziem told Hadjuk TV after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy that I helped the team to win, this is what I want, Hajduk that always wins, and I am here to do my best.<\/p>\n

\u201cHearing the whole stadium singing my name was a great feeling. They supported us until the very end of the game, they are excellent and I want to thank them for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

He has scored three goals in eight league appearances for the former Croatian league champions this season.<\/p>\n
