The Nigerian and Cameroonian were on the scoresheet as their Belarusian side conquered the visitors on Sunday
Gift Otuwe and Moussa Xouwairatou were on target for Neman as they claimed a 6-1 triumph over ABFF-U19 in a Belarusian Women’s Premier League fixture at Krytyj Futbol Manezh on Sunday.
Having returned from an international break, Neman were desperate to avoid a slip-up, having gone two matches without defeat after a 4-1 win over Bobruichanka before a 1-1 draw at Zorka-BDU.
With hopes for a winning return, Neman made a strong start to the encounter as former Nigeria international Otuwe fired them in front after just 10 minutes of action against ABFF in Grodno.
