Ex- Flying Eagles star Adewale Oladoye made his official debut for KAA Gent in a Jupiler Pro League playoff clash against Standard Liege which they won 2-0 Wednesday night.
The victory, made possible by the goals of Yonas Malede and Roman Yaremchuk in the seventh and 94th minutes, has brightened Gent hope of stealing the ticket to the UEFA Conference League, which makes its debut next season.
Adewale’s moment to cherish came in the 90th minute, when he was thrust into the game by Gent.
The defensive midfielder from the Flying Eagles Star Class of 2020 made an instant impression when he made an interception leading to the second goal of the match.
Oladoye looked hungry to play his competitive debut after he was an unused sub in the last game.
It would be recalled that Water FC of Abuja stars Oladoye and Emeka Chinonso signed pro deals with Gent earlier this year.
The likes of Moses Simon, Samuel Kalu, Peter Olayinka and Rabiu Ibrahim have featured for the top Belgian club.
