John Mikel Obi, the captain of the Nigerian national team, expressed his delight at opening his goal account for Tianjin Teda in the Chinese Super League (CSL) this season. The 27th-minute strike from Mikel enabled Tianjin Teda to stage a remarkable comeback and secure a 2-1 victory against Guangzhou R and F on Saturday.
