‘It was some finish’ - Super Eagles star hailed for his remarkable finish in Conference League

Premier League side Crystal Palace settled for a 2-2 draw against KuPS in the Europa Conference League clash on Thursday night.

Making his first start for the club at home, Uche wasted no time making an impact. Within five minutes, he opened the scoring with an exquisite outside-of-the-boot strike that curled into the top corner, leaving KuPS goalkeeper Walter Benitez with no chance. 

The on-loan Getafe player demonstrated remarkable technique and composure. After receiving the ball at the edge of the box, he shifted it to his left before unleashing a perfectly placed shot with the outside of his right foot. 

The quality of the finish earned immediate acclaim from the TNT Sports punditry team. Former Crystal Palace defender Joel Ward was particularly impressed.

"It was some finish," Ward commented. "It was encouraging to see George play forward and break the lines, and it was a wonderful guided finish into the corner from Uche. 

“You can probably get carried away sometimes trying to hit it too hard, but it's like he just hit that finesse button to place it into the corner."

Former Leeds striker Lucy Ward shared the sentiment, describing the goal as exceptional. "That was absolutely brilliant from start to finish," she said. 

"From the build-up on this right-hand side to the incredible finish from Uche. Little turn, outside of the right foot, curled it into the corner. Amazing."

The goal marked his second goal in as many Conference League appearances, highlighting his growing influence since his deadline day arrival.
