No Limits: Nigerian youngster scores hattrick in Sweden

Nigeria youth international Kparobo Arierhi put in a sensational performance as Beyond Limits kicked off their Gothia Cup campaign with a resounding 5-1 victory over GIF Sundsvall.

The 18-year-old stole the show with a first-half hat-trick to inspire his side to a comfortable win in their tournament opener on Monday morning.

Kparobo opened the scoring for Beyond Limits in just the fourth minute, but the Swedish side was able to level the scores 15 minutes later.

However, the Nigerians soon took over the game, restoring their lead in the opening minute of the second half through Muhammed Abdullahi.

Kparobo then netted his second and third goals of the game in the 38th and 45th minutes respectively to put the result beyond doubt.

Sunday Ogbonnya added a fifth goal late on to complete the rout for the Nigerian club, who continued their fine form from last season.

Kparobo's heroics came as no surprise, as the talented youngster has been in fine form for Beyond Limits. 

He scored 22 goals in just 15 appearances last season to help the club secure a fourth successive TCC title.

The 18-year-old also proved to be the driving force behind Beyond Limits' promotion to the Nigerian Premier Football League, netting three goals in the playoff matches.

With this impressive display at the prestigious Gothia Cup, Kparobo has once again demonstrated his ability to perform on the big stage and underlined his status as one of Nigeria's most exciting young prospects.

Beyond Limits will be hoping their star man can continue this rich vein of form as they look to make a deep run in the remainder of the tournament.
