Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, who has been overlooked by the Super Eagles for the 2023 AFCON, kept a clean sheet and made five top saves on a winning Serie A debut.
Udinese beat Bologna 3-0 at home with Okoye enjoying his first start in the Italian league.
Sofascore gave him a 7.9 rating.
The win ended a four-game winning run of surprise front runners Bologna, who failed to score for the first time since September.
The shot stopper, who was widely blamed for the Super Eagles early exit from the 2021 AFCON, was grateful to God for his performance.
Good one
There will be no more excuses for Super eagles not to shine at Afcon 2023. Unless we self implode again. NFF must do everything necessary to help the team, nit to sabotage them.
