"Your goal was great and I wish to score a more brilliant goal than that before the end of the season,once again congratulations bro."
Asiegbu scored against league leaders, Plateau United at the Umuahia Township Stadium from a move that began with a throw-in on the right channel of Abia Warriors' attack when Yakub Hammed threw the ball to Sunday Adetunji who shielded it nicely at the edge of Plateau United's box before cushioning it to Uche Ihuarulam whose intended cross took a deflection off the back of Plateau United's Jimmy Ambrose.
The ball then fell kindly to Asiegbu who controlled with his chest towards his left foot and struck sweetly into the top corner beyond Plateau United goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye for the first of his two goals on the day.
