In an unforgettable Serie A debut, goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, previously overlooked for the 2023 AFCON by the Super Eagles, delivered an outstanding performance.
Securing a clean sheet, he made five impressive saves to mark his debut in the Italian league.
Udinese secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Bologna at home, with Okoye making his mark as the starting goalkeeper. His stellar performance earned him a commendable 7.9 rating on Sofascore.
This triumph put an end to Bologna’s impressive four-game winning streak, and notably, they failed to score for the first time since September. The surprise front runners faced an unexpected setback against Udinese.
Widely criticized for the Super Eagles’ early exit from the 2021 AFCON, Okoye expressed gratitude to God for his stellar performance, showcasing a significant redemption on the Serie A stage.
