Own-goal ends Enyeama’s record-chasing dream

Vincent Enyeama’s invincibility at goal ended on Sunday after Lille teammate Simon Kjaer deflected a harmless Landry N’Guémo’s shot to beat the Nigerian keeper in the 27th minute.

The vital lone-goal victory pushed Bordeaux to the sixth position in the French Ligue 1 log.

The Super Eagles goalkeeper had gone 14 matches without conceding a goal and it was the first time he had had to pick the ball out of his net since September 15 in the 2-0 defeat by Nice.

The former Enyimba shot stopper had been closing in on the overall Ligue 1 record of 1,176 minutes held by Gaetan Huard for Bordeaux during the 1992-93 campaign. Enyeama only conceded after 1,062 minutes.

“I cannot hide my relief because I was worried the record would go,” Huard told French sports channel Bein Sport after watching the match on Sunday.
