Godwin Aguda put on a masterful display over the weekend, delivering a vital assist as Falkenbergs FF rallied from behind to secure a thrilling 4-2 road victory against IK Brage in the Swedish Superettan.
Playing the entire 90 minutes, the 28-year-old set up the crucial equaliser to make it 2-2 during a Matchday 14 fixture that saw Falkenbergs successfully fight back from two different deficits.
The assist brings the former Rivers United forward’s tally to three goal contributions (one goal, two assists) in 14 league games this season.
A Resilient Fightback Before the Break
Falkenbergs had to show immense character at the Domnarvsvallen stadium after the hosts took an early lead.
Filip Trpcevski opened the scoring for Brage in the 13th minute, but Falkenbergs answered almost immediately when Melker Nilsson equalized just four minutes later.
Brage managed to snatch the lead back just before the whistle, with Alex Mortensen scoring deep into first-half stoppage time to give the hosts a 2-1 advantage at the interval.
Aguda Sparks the Second-Half Turnaround
The visitors came out firing in the second half, and it didn’t take long for Aguda to make his mark. In the 52nd minute, the Nigerian forward linked up beautifully with Hampus Källström, who slotted home the equalizer.
Seven minutes later, Elias Mohammad put Falkenbergs ahead for the first time, and Källström sealed the emphatic 4-2 win with his second goal of the day in the 71st minute.
Since leaving the NPFL—where he debuted with Enugu Rangers in 2015—Aguda has spent eight seasons with Falkenbergs, racking up 43 goals and 14 assists in 147 appearances.
The spectacular comeback victory catapults Falkenbergs to the top of the Superettan table, leaving second-place Brage 12 points behind.
Aguda and his teammates will look to keep their momentum going when they host Helsingborg tomorrow.
