The Nigerian stopper and his teammates at Omonia have now crashed out in the Europa League in embarrassing fashion as they failed to win any of their six games losing all.

Against Sheriff Tiraspol, Uzoho and his teammates tried their best to get something out of the match, but Rasheed Akanbi's 87th minute goal condemned them to a 1-0 defeat.

Both teams went into the clash at the Stadionul Zimbru knowing that the game would determine who would take third place and thus drop into the UEFA’s third-tier competition at the knockout stages.

Omonia miss chances

Roman Bezus should have been on the scoresheet twice for Omonia in the second half of the game, but he was unable to find the back of the net on the two occasions he got good chances.

He then played for the U23 team before earning a call-up from the then-Super Eagles coach, ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt.
