Anglo-Nigerian Odoh scores twice as Peterborough dominates Palace

Abraham Odoh, the Anglo-Nigerian forward, netted two goals to help Peterborough secure a spot in the knockout rounds of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy with a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace Under 21s.

Odoh, who was born in London, began his career in non-league football, playing for Edgware Town and Tooting & Mitcham before moving on to Charlton, Rochdale, and Harrogate.

Peterborough took the lead just three minutes into the second half when Odoh scored from close range following a strong play by Cian Hayes.

Goalkeeper Bilokapic made a crucial save against Mustapha in the 52nd minute and then denied Jemide, but Posh soon doubled their advantage. Hayes was the scorer, capitalizing on a defensive error that saw the clearance hit him and loop over the goalkeeper into the net.

Crystal Palace managed to reduce the deficit shortly after the hour mark when MARSH broke free and shot past Bilokapic with his right foot. Jones had a shot cleared off the line, and both Odoh and Randall had their attempts blocked before Peterborough secured a third goal.

Substitute Harley MILLS cut in from the left and curled a brilliant shot into the top corner.

With just four minutes remaining, Posh sealed the game at 4-1 as ODOH scored his second, finding the bottom corner after another impressive build-up.
