The profile of Nigeria's Super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye, continues to soar in the Dutch Eredivisie as he singlehandedly secured full points for Sparta Rotterdam, BSNsports.com.ng can report.
Since he joined the Dutch team, his performance has earned him applause across Europe and has secured a move to the English premier league side Watford FC.
Sparta defeated Vitesse 0-1 away from home with Okoye saving a penalty that made the day for the visitors.
The visitors opened the scoring in the 5th minute through Dalmau and he thought he has completed his brace in the 42nd minute but VAR has another idea.
After backlogs of saves, Okoye finally sealed his man of the match award as he stopped Openda penalty in the 64th minute of the game.
The game was stopped by the centre referee in the 90th minute after Okoye was pelted with bottles by the fans.
The two teams were asked to return to the dressing room.
