Daniel Daga Scores on First Start as Molde Fight Back to Beat KFUM Oslo
Nigerian midfielder Daniel Daga marked his return to the starting line-up with a goal as Molde came from behind to defeat KFUM Oslo 4-2 in a Norwegian Eliteserien match on Sunday, July 26.
KFUM Oslo made the perfect start, taking the lead in the opening minute of the game. However, Daga brought Molde back into the contest in the 40th minute with a well-taken low shot from inside the penalty area to make it 1-1.
The 19-year-old played for 69 minutes before he was replaced by Enggård, with Molde going on to score twice in the second half to complete an impressive comeback victory.
The goal was Daga’s second appearance since he was acquitted of sexual assault allegations. He had returned to action last weekend, coming off the bench in Molde’s 2-1 home defeat to Brann.
Daga’s goal and strong performance will be a welcome boost for Molde coach Sindre Tjelmeland as the club continues its push for a European qualification place in the Norwegian top flight.
