Ebuehi Shines Amidst Den Haag’s Unbeaten Streak Snap, Azubuike Leads Malatyaspor to Triumph

In a dramatic turn of events, ADO Den Haag’s five-match unbeaten streak in the Dutch Eredivisie came to an end as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday. Super Eagles defender Tyrone Ebuehi, a key figure in the encounter, witnessed his team concede after Erik Falkenburg’s early lead was nullified by goals from Michiel Kramer in the 62nd minute and Robert Muehren in the 83rd minute. Den Haag, having previously won two and drawn three in their last five league matches, faced an unexpected setback at the hands of a resurgent Sparta Rotterdam.

In the Turkish Super Lig, the spotlight shifted to Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Azubuike Okechukwu, whose 90-minute performance played a pivotal role in Malatyaspor’s 1-0 victory over Konyaspor. This triumph marked Malatyaspor’s second consecutive league win, following their 3-1 success against Karabukspor the previous Sunday.

Meanwhile, in the Greek elite division, 2013 AFCON winner Obiora Nwankwo, though an unused substitute, witnessed Levadiakos secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory against AE Larissa. Levadiakos, after enduring three games without a win (two draws, one defeat), made a triumphant return to the winner’s circle.

In the Russian Premier League, Kehinde Fatai’s goal drought continued as FC UFA was held to a 1-1 home draw by Dinamo Moscow. Fatai, who played the full 90 minutes, remains goalless after 15 league games this season, adding to FC UFA’s recent struggles.
