Sakari Tukiainen ended his goal drought with a brace against Kirivong Sok Sen Chey in the Cambodian Premier League prior to the New Year break.

Sakari’s double with four further goals, coming from Ajayi Opeyemi, Mustafa Zazai, Taing Bunchhay and Mat Noron, handed Boeung Ket an incredible 6-0 win at home.

The striker, who joined Boeung Ket this season, has already made six appearances for the club.

He pointed out that his goals against Kirivong Sok Sen Chey helped boost his confidence.

“I feel really good to score, and hopefully now the goals start coming in every game,” the Finnish striker told boeungketfc.com.

“I’m very satisfied with our performance and result. Our team played very well and has been playing well in the last few matches. We need to keep the winning streak going.

“It [goal] helps a lot. Sometimes if you don’t score for long time, it can be difficult for strikers because everybody expects goals from you.”

Sakari explained his goal shy due to bad luck and adaptation.

“I think it’s a little bit of bad luck and a little bit of adapting to everything here. It is so much different than in Finland,” he added.

“It was not easy in the beginning, but thanks to Boueng Ket’s staff, coaches and my teammates for making it easier for me. I am really happy to be here.”
