Former Enyimba of Aba forward, Chibuike Nwaiwu has helped his club, Wolfsberger AC, to win this season’s Austrian Cup.
In a thrilling final held at the 28 Black Arena, Wolfsberger AC triumphed over Hartberg with a narrow 1-0 victory.
The decisive moment came in the 77th minute when Angelo Gattermayer showcased his aerial prowess by scoring with a powerful header, sealing the victory for his team.
Chibuike Nwaiwu played a pivotal role in the match, actively contributing to the midfield for the full duration of the game.
This victory marks Nwaiwu’s first major European honour, a testament to his hard work and dedication on the field.
