Erick Joe cleared for decisive clash against Galaxy

The Brazilian top-defender Erick Joe of Hekari United received a greenlight to play against Galaxy FC from Vanuatu in the final and decisive match of the group A held in Port Moresby. Hekari United neeeds a win for the biggest possible goal margin to seal their spot in the knock-out of the OFC Champions League 2020 – a simple win will not guarantee a spot for the Papua New Guinean powerhouse in the decisive phase of the competition.

The tall Brazilian is impressing with his performances, being a rock in the defensive system of Hekari United. He scored one goal against Hienghène Sport in their 2-2 draw in the second group match. In this same match, the central defender needed to make way for Otto Kusunan after colliding with the goalkeeper Ishmael Pole. The player left the pitch coughing and also with blurred vision, giving signs he could not be fit to play against Galaxy in the final group match.

The good news for Hekari United fans is that the important defender recovered himself from the injuries and will be able to defend Hekari in one of their most important matches of the season so far.
