FORMER Rangers Internatio­nal talisman, Obinna Nwobodo is over the moon after winning the first trophy in his debut season in Europe. Nwobodo helped Ujpest FC to win its 10th Hungarian Cup after a penalty shootout victory against Puskas Academy. The Final game had finished 2-2 and Ujpest won 54 on penalties to qualify to play in the Europa League next season.

“It’s a befitting way to end the season and I am excited playing a major part in the success,” Nwobodo said

The mercurial midfielder played all games on the way to winning the coveted trophy and enthused that the cup triumph means a lot to him.

“It’s my first cup win here and coming in my very first season, I am really elated. I thank God who made it possible.

“I will work harder to help the team make impact in the Europa league,” he added.

The 2015 U-20 AFCON (Senegal 2015) winner has remained consistent since moving to Ujpest, missing just two games with the season remaining two games to end. He has scored four goals
