Fringe Super Eagles forward Josh Maja capped his new found form with a goal for Bordeaux to power them to a 2-0 win over Angers .
The 21 year old started Bordeaux’s first league game last week against Nantes and his performance earned him another chance to lead the line and he didn’t disappoint.
Maja who scored six league goals last season opened his new season goal account with a striker’s finish in the box by reacting first to a knockdown to open scoring in the game.
Croatian midfielder Toma Basic put the game to bed with the second goal for Bordeaux in the 27th minutes , two minutes after the opening goal by Maja and it was enough to help them to their first league win of the season.
Coach of the senior national of Nigeria Gernot Rohr was among the handful of supporters who saw the game live and for the second straight week he has watched Maja at close range.
While Maja was subbed out in the 66th minute his fellow Nigerian at the club Samuel Kalu was once again introduced from the bench with twelve minutes left to play in the game.
