Nigeria: Onuachu Scores Second Fastest Goal in International Football History As Eagles Beat Egypt 1-0

    By Alex Monye

 Asaba — Debutant, Paul Onuachu scored the second fastest goal in the history of international 

football when he blasted the ball past Egypt's goalkeeper, Mahmoud Gennesh, less than seven 

seconds after the kick off of the international friendly at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba. Onuachu's goal is only second to Lukas Podolski's strike after six seconds for Germany against Ecuador in 2013. The win was Egypt's Coach, Javier Aguirre's first loss since he took over the reins of the Pharaohs. Yesterday's game was one of the matches lined up to prepare the Super Eagles for the forthcoming African Nations Cup, but the fans left the stadium disappointed with the dour game put up by the sides, who played without some of their biggest stars. While Egypt left out Mohamed Salah, Ahmed Hegazi and Elmohamady, Nigeria's stand-in captain, Ahmed Musa also did not feature in the game as he was said to have returned to Saudi Arabia for a club engagement. After Onuachu's wonder strike, Egypt tried to get back into the game, but they found the Super Eagles' defence marshalled by the day's skipper, William Troost-Ekong a hard nut to crack.
Nigeria had the chance to double their advantage in the 30th minute when Alex Iwobi latched on to the ball following Mahmoud Alaa's defensive error, but the Arsenal forward's strike was weak and easy for Gennesh to save. Nigeria continued their dominance of the first half, but poor decision making in the final third prevented them from adding to the scoreline. However, the Pharaohs came into the second half stronger and determined to get something out of the game, but they struggled to create good goal scoring opportunities. Egypt's clearest chance of getting the equaliser was thwarted in the 83rd minute by an inspired substitute goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, who pushed Islam Gaber's shot to the crossbar and got up to save Kouka's follow up effort. Speaking after the match, Super Eagles' coach, Gernot Rohr said his team would now focus on building a team for the Nations Cup. "The match was a great game and my players were hungry to win. The early goal gave the Eagles the confidence and getting this type of result against Egypt is good for the team.
"The new players have proved a point and have now set up competition in the squad ahead of the Nations Cup," he said. Also speaking on the game, William Troost-Ekong said, "We are happy with the victory. Although Egypt did not come with some of their top stars, they still gave us a good fight." Troost-Ekong refused to predict what Nigeria would do at the Nations Cup "because it is my first experience going to the competition. But I think with more games and team coordination, the Eagles will excel in Egypt." Egypt's coach, Javier Aguirre praised his lads for giving their best under difficult conditions, saying the match has given him more insight on the flaws in his team. "I am happy with my team's performance because the Eagles are good. This is why I accepted to play against Nigeria despite other teams calling for my team. "I decided to try out new players so that I can get more replacement for players like Mo Salah and the new players did their best

GOOD HABITS EVERYONE NEEDS FOR SUCCESS

1. Get on a good schedule. We need structure and routine in our lives. Our bodies expect it. They perform best when we operate on a regular schedule. We especially need to eat and sleep about the same time each day. If you are the parent of a young child, it is your job to teach this habit early. This routine stays with a person their whole life and helps them to develop good work habits. Find a schedule that works for you and stick to it!
 2. Eat a healthy diet. Our brains need the right food to perform at their peak. Don’t go to school on an empty stomach. Students need to train themselves early to eat a balanced and healthy diet. We tend to carry the habits we learn when we are young forward with us for most of our lives. Learning to eat right now can avoid many health issues down the road.
 3. Learn to exercise. We need physical activity to stay healthy. The benefits of regular exercise are well documented. We need to find exercise routines that are fun and match our individual tastes. Developing a good exercise routine is a habit that will increase both the quantity and quality of your life.
 4. Practice gratitude. It is so easy to get in the bad habit of envying what others have. The grass often seems greener on the other side of the fence. It is vitally important to learn gratitude. Practice thinking about the things you have to be thankful about. I do this with my daughter each evening when I put her to bed. I ask her to recall the good things that happened that day. We then take a few minutes and give thanks for those things. This helps us both to train ourselves to be grateful..
5  Develop good study habits. Studying effectively is a skill. People that live life to the fullest are lifelong learners. They never stop trying new things. One needs to study and gather new knowledge in an effective and efficient manner. Learning how to study and acquire the knowledge to succeed doesn’t just occur naturally. It needs to be taught. Take a study skills course or ask others for tips on improving your study habits.
 6. Never give up! I remember being told in school that, “Winners never quit and quitters never win.” I think this is a Vince Lombardi quote and it is certainly true. It takes perseverance in life to enjoy any kind of success. I also remember hearing, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” These sayings come back to me time and again when I feel like giving up. Perseverance is a habit. It is one that can be developed just like any other.
 7. Manage money wisely. Why don’t they teach a good personal finance class in school? Students need to learn to earn, save, budget, track, and wisely spend money to be successful in life. Good money habits can never start too early. There are a lot of good resources out there to help. I recommend taking a look at what Dave Ramsey has to offer for various ages. Of course, you can also find a lot of fantastic money tips reading blogs!
8. Respect the environment. It seems to be hip to be “green”, but being a good steward of our environment is really not that new. Wise parents have been teaching these principles to their children for ages. We only have this one world and we depend on it for our survival. Every person needs to do their part to protect what we have. Develop habits now that will help you to be a good environmental citizen for a lifetime!
 9. Strive for excellence! Why do a job if you aren’t going to do it right? We need to develop the habit of giving every task our best effort. Excellence should be the standard we strive for in all we do. We can’t start letting ourselves or our children do the least possible to get by. If we do, then they are going to receive less than the best results from their work. Teaching excellence now will ensure habits for success will carry forward.
 10. Live the Golden Rule. “Do unto others…” is a guideline we should all follow. Think of the conflict and tragedy that could have been avoided if people simply applied the Golden Rule in all their relationships. If we make this a habit, then we will find a lot more success in life. Respecting people of all races and beliefs is a hallmark of living life to the fullest.
 11. Practice good hygiene. You really can dress for success! Habits like brushing your teeth twice a day and washing your hands regularly not only contribute to health, but also lead to routines that give one a sharper appearance. First impressions are powerful and are mostly derived from the way a person looks. Like it or not this is true. Start today to ensure you do what it takes to leave a lasting good impression.
 12. Always tell the truth! The truth often comes out whether we want it to or not. Lying generally just complicates the situation and makes us look bad. Look at the scandals many of our politicians fall into because they fail to admit the truth. It is much better to just develop the habit of telling the truth even when it is difficult. This will save you a lot of heartache and misery in life.
 13. Ask for what you want. Develop the habit of asking for what you want. How else are you going to get it? It is really that simple. Often, when I ask, I am amazed at how quickly I get exactly what I wanted. Just give this one a try. If you are a parent, teach your children to ask others for what they want. This is truly a behavior you want to come naturally. It will build confidence and self-esteem that will serve your kids forever!
 14. Be a regular reader. Being a good reader is a skill that often separates the good students from those that struggle. Becoming a good reader takes practice. The more you read and are read to, the better you get. Reading has numerous benefits. It builds one’s vocabulary, expands the imagination, and rekindles creativity. Make reading a routine!
 15. Be punctual. Arriving on time is important to one’s success. People always notice when you are late. It is an indicator of whether you mean what you say and can be trusted. Do not introduce doubt about this into people’s minds by showing up later than expected. Create the habit of being punctual now and you won’t have to worry.
 16. Respect authority. Failure to respect those in authority positions can lead to all kinds of problems in life. It doesn’t matter whether it is your boss, a police officer, or a university dean. People in authority have a job to do and often worked hard to get into the position they are in. They deserve to be treated with proper manners and reverence. Learning to say, “Yes ma’am” and “Yes sir” will get you noticed in a positive way.
 17. Tend to your spiritual needs. We cannot ignore our spiritual needs and truly live a full and rewarding life. We must recognize that there is a higher power and pursue our faith regularly. We may not exercise our beliefs in exactly the same way, but I encourage you to find what works for you and explore it to it’s depths. A solid spiritual life will serve you well. Good habits developed now will last a lifetime! These are good habits you want to set in concrete now. The quicker you make these habits that you live by, the better life you will experience. If you are a parent, then print this list and work on it with your children. Back to school is an excellent time to focus on new habits that will last a lifetime!

Real Madrid: How Champions League holders crashed out against Ajax

Real Madrid have now lost four consecutive home games for the first time since 2004

Real Madrid's 1,011-day reign as European champions is over.

Two years, nine months and five days since they beat fellow Spaniards Atletico Madrid in the 2016 final in Milan, they have finally been eliminated from Europe's premier club competition after three titles in a row.

Santiago Solari's team saw their 2-1 first-leg lead overturned in emphatic fashion, as Dutch side Ajax claimed a stunning and deserved 4-1 victory at the Bernabeu.

Despite only being in charge for 113 days, Solari has overseen Real's two heaviest home Champions League defeats, with this coming after the 3-0 defeat by CSKA Moscow in December.

And Tuesday's exit comes six days after they were eliminated from the Copa del Rey by fierce rivals Barcelona, whom they trail by 12 points in La Liga.

BBC Sport looks at the stats behind Real's remarkable run and the fallout from Tuesday's chastening loss...

For the first time since May 2015 - a run stretching 46 months - Real Madrid are out of the Champions League.

They have a remarkable record since the start of the 2015-16 season, in which they claimed the first of their three successive titles.

Real Madrid: Gareth Bale treatment by fans 'a disgrace' - agent By David Ornstein

Real Madrid: Gareth Bale treatment by fans 'a disgrace' - agent By David Ornstein BBC Sport
 2 hours ago From the sectionEuropean Football Share this page



Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale (left) in action against Barcelona Real Madrid fell 12 points behind leaders Barcelona after losing to their rivals on Saturday The treatment of Gareth Bale by Real Madrid fans is "nothing short of a disgrace", according to his agent. Sections of the Bernabeu crowd jeered the Wales forward when he was substituted after 61 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Barcelona. "This generation of Real fans will be talking about Gareth's goals for years to come," said the 29-year-old's representative, Jonathan Barnett. "Frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves." Bale joined Real from Tottenham in 2013 for £85m and has won four Champions Leagues and one La Liga title with the Spanish club. He has scored 13 goals in 33 club games this season but, despite being under contract until June 2022, his future at the Bernabeu has been a talking point in recent weeks. "Gareth deserves the greatest of respect. The way Real fans have treated him is nothing short of a disgrace," Barnett added. "We're fed up of fake stories that he's leaving." Real keeper Thibaut Courtois was quoted last month as saying Bale has not adapted to the Spanish way of life and snubbed a night out with team-mates. Full-back Marcelo told Spanish newspaper Marca that Bale does not speak Spanish and only communicates with gestures.
