Deportivo Fabril Stumbles as Super Eagles Keeper Uzoho Concedes Twice in League Clash
In a challenging encounter on Sunday, Nigerian goalkeeper Francis Uzoho faced a setback as Real Deportivo Fabril succumbed to a 2-0 defeat against CF Talavera de al Reina in the Segunda Division B league game. The loss marked the 14th for Real Deportivo Fabril in the current season, highlighting the team’s struggle in the third division of Spanish football.
Uzoho, a rising talent in the Super Eagles, endured a tough second half, conceding a penalty to Jorge Fernandez in the 62nd minute, followed by Christian Fernandez sealing the victory for Talavera in the dying moments of the game. This unfortunate turn of events denied the 19-year-old goalkeeper his 11th clean sheet of the season.
The match statistics reveal that Uzoho has now faced 11 goals in 16 league games, despite an impressive record of maintaining 10 clean sheets. Currently under the watchful eye of Nigerian goalkeeper trainer Enrico Pionetti in Spain, Uzoho’s performance is being closely monitored ahead of potential inclusion in Nigeria’s squad for pre-World Cup friendlies against Poland and Serbia later this month.
Real Deportivo Fabril, currently occupying the fourth position in the league table, amassed 47 points from 28 games. The team will be eager to regroup and bounce back in the upcoming fixtures, as they strive for success in the challenging Segunda Division B league.
