Yusuf Otubanjo has emerged winner of the 2022 Europa Conference League Goal of the Group Stage for Pyunik at home to Slovan Bratislava.
Pyunik’s Matchday 2 fixture with Slovan was approaching the interval when the 30-year-old Nigerian forward Yusuf Otubanjo, collected the ball just inside the visitors’ half. He jinked past compatriot Uche Henry Agbo, strode forward and whipped a right-footed effort into the top-left corner. It made the score 2-0 and that is how it remained, the Armenian side’s first win in UEFA competition proper.
All the top seven goals were long-range strikes of different hues. Riccardo Saponara’s crisp effort for Fiorentina at RFS on Matchday 6 finished second in the poll, with Andy Diouf’s sweet first-minute strike for Basel at home to Žalgiris third.
There were ten goals nominated in all, with fans able to vote from 10:00 CET on Monday 7 November until 12:00 CET on Friday 11 November.
