Dogalau’s dazzling double: Eto’s speaks about his goals and strong team bond at OFC Nations Cup

In an exhilarating display of talent and teamwork, Fiji secured a decisive 9-1 victory over Samoa in the second matchday of the OFC Nations Cup, clinching a berth in the tournament’s semifinals. The match was highlighted by the remarkable performance of Etonia Dogalau, the tall Ba striker, who entered the game in the final minutes and still managed to score twice.

Dogalau, affectionately known as “Eto,” had already made a name for himself by scoring for the national team in the Pacific Games in the Solomon Islands. However, these two goals were particularly special, as they marked his first goals in front of his home crowd. The moment was made even more memorable by the presence of his family members, who were there to witness his achievement.

Speaking to Oceania Football Center, the 23-year-old striker shared his thoughts on this milestone in his career.

“It was a proud moment for me scoring in front of our family and people of Fiji, but I give all the credit to our captain Roy Krishna who always motivates us and being our inspiration and also our teammates for the lovely bond and teamwork we share,” Dogalau said.

Dogalau emphasized the unity and collective spirit that defines the team, attributing their success to the strong relationships among the players and their shared faith.

“The great moment now is that the love we share for each other and the main thing is that we are putting God first who is the pillar of our strength,” he added.

The win against Samoa was a testament to Fiji’s growing prowess in football, showcasing not only their offensive capabilities but also their depth of talent. As the team looks ahead to the semifinals, the contributions of players like Etonia Dogalau will undoubtedly be crucial in their quest for glory in the OFC Nations Cup.

Eto’s performance has certainly captured the hearts of fans, promising a bright future for the young striker and his continued impact on Fijian football.
