Yakubu marks debut with a goal

Yakubu Aiyegbeni justified his signing by Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F as he scored to give them a lone goal victory over local rivals Guangzhou Evergrande in Sunday’s match. Yakubu, who only moved to the club during the past week, scoredhis debut goal on 86 minutes off a close-range header from an in-swinging corner to start his China sojourn on a bright note. Even though Evergrande arguably were the better side, he didn't have much to work with, but tookhis chance when it came. The result is a big upset after several R&F defeats.
