He opened the scoring midway through the first half with a deft finish inside the area before adding his second after the interval, a thumping strike that left the MOIK goalkeeper helpless.<\/p>\n<p>Neft\u00e7i\u2019s attacking depth proved too much for their lower-tier visitors, with goals also coming from Ehtiram Shahverdiyev, Emin Mahmudov, and an own goal to complete the rout. Despite two late consolations from MOIK, the capital giants showed their class throughout the tie.<\/p>\n<p>Aboubakar\u2019s early form has quickly endeared him to Neft\u00e7i supporters, who see the 32-year-old as the missing piece in their hunt for domestic silverware. His leadership and experience, honed over spells in Portugal, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, are already lifting the side\u2019s attacking tempo.<\/p>\n<p>Neft\u00e7i will now turn their attention back to league action, confident that their new forward can keep delivering the goals as the season gathers pace.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
