The young attacker said after the match that he is loving life at the academy and he is focused on being one of the best strikers to have come out of Nigeria.
“I want to be one of the best strikers in Nigeria, with the right education, I can achieve this.
“I strongly believe in AS Roma Academy Abuja to give me that leverage” Mbata said.
Mbata troubled his markers with his pace and agility each time AS Roma surge forward making it difficult for Starlite defenders to cope during the game.
The striker’s impact paid off in the 36th minute of play when he put AS Roma ahead in a spectacular way.
