Uche Agbo Opens Goal Account as Standard Liege Clinches Victory Over Genk

Super Eagles midfielder Uche Agbo marked a significant milestone as he opened his goal account for Belgian club Standard Liege in a commanding 2-0 triumph against KRC Genk at the Luminus Arena on Sunday. The victory propelled Standard Liege to the sixth position in the top-flight league table.

The opening goal came in the 15th minute, courtesy of Congo Democratic Republic forward Paul Mpoku, setting the stage for an impressive team performance. Uche Agbo secured the three points for Standard Liege with a well-timed goal nine minutes from the final whistle.

Agbo, who made the switch from Spanish club Granada to Standard Liege this summer, showcased his prowess in the midfield, contributing not only defensively but also making a crucial impact in the attacking third. His goal marks a notable addition to his contributions since joining the Belgian side.

With seven league appearances for Standard Liege, Agbo continues to solidify his place in the squad, demonstrating his versatility and significance to the team’s success. The away win has elevated Standard Liege to the sixth position in the league standings, underlining their competitive edge in the top-flight competition.

Despite his pivotal role for Standard Liege, Agbo was not part of Nigeria’s qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Nevertheless, his consistent performances at the club level are likely to keep him in the conversation for future international selections as Nigeria eyes future football competitions.
