Serie A: Okoye Keeps Clean Sheet As Udinese Pip Como

Super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye was in goal for the entire 90 minutes as Udinese pip Como 1-0 in Sunday’s Serie A game.

The Nigerian international who was making his third appearances, had a brilliant game..

Udinese took the lead just before half-time when Florian Thauvin sent Ehizibue down the right and he floated in a cross for Brenner, but as he was slipping over, the volley took a very strange loop to surprise Pepe Reina in off the inside of the near post.

Como came millimetres from equalising with the last kick of the half, as Belotti flicked on a long ball for Gabriel Strefezza’s strike to shave a coat of paint off the upright.

Maduka Okoye parried a Da Cunha effort at the near stick and gathered a towering Marc Kempf header on a corner.

Como went so close moments later, as another towering Kempf header was cleared practically off the line by Ehizibue.
