Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho finally made his first appearance of the season for Omonia Nicosia on Thursday night the Cypriot club secured a 3-1 victory over Rapid Wien in a match that saw them dominate the second half.
After a relatively quiet first half, Omonia surged ahead in the second period, with goals from Andronikos Kakoullis, Willy Semedo, and Saidou Alioum. Dion Beljo scored a consolation goal for Rapid Wien.
Despite being the second-choice goalkeeper behind veteran Brazilian Fabiano Freitas and a little rusty, Uzoho impressed, making three crucial saves and conceding just one goal.
Omonia manager Giannis Anastasiou praised his team’s performance, highlighting their tactical discipline and depth. He emphasized the importance of maintaining focus, as even the smallest mistakes can be costly.
