Nigeria Eligible Chelsea Loanee On Target In Norway


Nigeria




Rosenborg claimed all three points in their second game of the new Norwegian season, beating Odd Grenland 1-0 at the Lerkendal Stadion (Trondheim) on Sunday evening.


Chelsea loanee Bryan Fiabema made his home debut for Rosenborg, coming off the bench to replace Noah Olhm with five minutes remaining.


The Norway U19 international of Nigerian descent played his first competitive game for RBK in their opening match of the season - a 2-2 draw at Bodo/Glimt last weekend.


Rosenborg took the lead in the 33rd minute when a brilliant team move ended with a close range finish from Holm.


The home team had a couple of chances in the second half to extend their lead but were denied by the goalkeeper or let down by poor finishing, while the best chance for Odd fell to Solomon Owusu, whose shot from close range bounced off the woodwork.


Fiabema, Chelsea's leading scorer in the Premier League 2 before heading out on a season-long loan, has now totaled seven minutes after two matches in the Eliteserien.
