In a Saudi Pro League clash, Odion Ighalo made a striking impact by netting a goal on his inaugural appearance for Al Wehda, guiding them to a resounding 3-0 victory against Al Taee.

Commencing the game from the substitute bench, Ighalo entered the field in the 86th minute, taking the place of Hussein Al Eisa. Demonstrating his prowess, the former Super Eagles forward found the back of the net merely five minutes after stepping onto the pitch.

Al Wehda had already secured a comfortable 2-0 lead prior to Ighalo’s entrance, with Faycal Fajr and Saeed Al Muwallad contributing the initial two goals for the home team.

Having recently joined Al Wehda on a free transfer, the 34-year-old striker inked a two-year contract. His performance on debut has set the stage for his full starting debut, anticipated to take place in the upcoming match against Al Ittihad next Monday.
