Making his seventh league appearance of the season, Okoye conceded the first goal in the 36th minute (Alex Bangura the scorer), and was lucky enough not to concede more then that going into the break. Issa Kallon beat Okoye in the 63rd minute to double Cambur's lead in the 63rd minute and 11 minutes later, Issa Kallon again beat Okoye for the second time on the afternoon to complete his brace. Tom Boere put an icing on the cake for Cambur as he scored Cambur's 4th of the evening in the 4th minute of the additional time. Okoya got into the referee's book in the 88th minute for an unsportsmanship behavior the same minute his teammate Aaron Meijers was shown red for unsportsmanship conduct. Meanwhile in AFAS Stadion, Tijani Reijnders, a name found the back of the net as AZ Akmaar ran riot over Go Ahead Eagles 5-0. The Dutch U23 whose name is traceable to Nigeria scored the fifth goal for Akmaar after Jasper Karlsson (4', 83'), Dani de Wit (29') Zakaria Aboukhlal (86') had given them a four goal lead. Shawn Adewoye was left on the bench as RKC Waalwijk suffered a 1-0 loss away to Heracles. The Belgian U21 with a Nigerian root has made 3 appearances for RKC Waalwijk this season. A mixed Sunday it was in the league for Nigeria players and those whose root can be traced to the country but next weekend is another period to look forward to.
