Super Eagles forward,Chinedu Obasi has been voted the second best player in the German Bundesliga in the matchday 28 games played over the weekend.

Respondents of highly authoritative Bundesliga.com voted the Nigeria second best behind Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus whose hat-trick helped to seal a come-from-behind 3-2 win at VFB Stuttgart.

Reus received a staggering 70 per cent of the post-Matchday vote, putting him way ahead of second-placed Obasi (ten per cent). The Nigerian forward, who has been plagued by a long-term knee injury this season, grabbed only his second goal of the season to give FC Schalke 04 the lead against Hertha Berlin on Friday, before setting up Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to seal a convincing 2-0 success.

SC Freiburg’s Felix Klaus came third with six per cent of the vote.

Obasi's goal has been described as amazing by two of his teammates,Julian Draxzler and Huntelaar.

The Nigerian chested the ball past one defender, prodded it past another and then rounded the keeper before scoring from a tight angle in the 16th minute.
