The striker scored the only goal in the 1-0 friendly win at ZTE.
"I've been really looking forward to this moment so we can play a match again. I feel like we're well prepared for the one month ahead of us from next weekend. We knew we weren't going to play our best match today, and we made mistakes, but we'll fix them. It was important that we looked at this match as if we had already played so that there would be no problem with the intensity, and the win was good for our self-confidence as well. I scored today, but unfortunately the first one was not given by the referee, although I think it was a goal because the ball did not leave the field of play. When I saw the ball end up in the back of the net, there is no feeling like that as I have said before. You can score in training or in a game and it feels great. I can’t imagine that feeling will ever go away.” - Niko said with a smile after the match.
