Scoring at San Siro was overwhelming – Olayinka (Punch)

Super Eagles invitee, Peter Olayinka, is still relishing scoring at the iconic San Siro stadium against European giants Inter Milan.

Slavia Prague were on the verge of beating hosts Inter at the San Siro after Olayinka deservedly put the underdogs in front in the 63rd minute of their UEFA Champions League opening match in September but a 92nd-minute equaliser from Nicolo Barella ensured that the Italians shared the spoils.

The goal, a first for Olayinka in the European elite football championship, came at a venue which holds a lot of memories for the Nigerian.
