Johanna Omolo

Kenyan international Johanna Omolo clocked 90 minutes for Büyükşehir Belediye Erzurumspor in the 1-2 loss to Konyaspor in the Turkish Super League.

This was the first game that the former Cercle Brugge midfielder was completing 90 minutes since the 2-0 loss to Galatasaray in mid-February.

Dani Milošević opened the scoring for Konyaspor in the 9th minute with Manuel da Costa pulling Erzurumspor six minutes later.

Abdulkerim Bardakcı restored Konyaspor’s lead with a minute left to the halftime break as the second half produced no goals.

The defeat leaves Erzurumspor deep in a relegation quagmire as they are second from bottom and six points from safety. 

Eric Marcelo Ouma

Harambee Stars left-back Eric Ouma came on as a second-half substitute in the 1-1 draw against Sundsvall in a Club Friendly.

Marcelo came on for Eric Khal just after the second half with the score already 1-1 following an entertaining first half.

Saku Ylätupa only needed five minutes to break the deadlock for AIK as Pontus Engblom pulled Sundsvall level courtesy of a penalty in the 43rd minute.

Ian Otieno & Jesse Were

Ian Otieno started for Zesco United in the 2-1 win over Zanaco while Jesse Were came on as an 81st-minute sub in the game while John Makwatta missed the matchday squad.

Moses Phiri put Zanaco ahead in the 35th minute with Zesco United coming back strong in the second half to win the tie courtesy of goals from Adrian Chama and Simon Silwimba.
