Nigerian Striker’s Stunning Treble Powers Shers to Dominant Win in Thrilling Encounter.

Nsungusi Effiong hat-trick

What a performance from the new star in town! Nsungusi Effiong, the towering Nigerian centre-forward who joined Punjab FC in November 2025, delivered a masterclass by netting an early hat-trick to inspire his side to a resounding victory over Aatma. The 26-year-old’s clinical finishing turned the game on its head within the opening stages, showcasing why Punjab snapped him up to boost their attacking firepower.

Effiong, standing at 6’4″ and known for his physical presence and goal-scoring pedigree from stints in Europe and Central Asia, wasted no time making his mark. His treble came in quick succession, leaving the Aatma defense shell-shocked and Punjab fans in ecstasy.

Punjab FC, fresh off their campaigns in the AIFF Super Cup and building momentum in domestic action, looked unstoppable once Effiong found his rhythm. The early goals set the tone for a dominant display, highlighting the impact of their Nigerian import who has quickly become a fan favorite.

Effiong’s form couldn’t come at a better time for Punjab FC as they push for success across competitions. With his power, aerial ability, and clinical edge, the Shers have a genuine goal machine on their hands.
