Kenyan international Collins Sichenje returned from injury on Sunday as his side, FK Vojvodina, ended a terrible run with a 2-0 win over Zeleznicar Pancevo in a Serbian league match.
Sichenje had missed the previous league match due to injury, which also kept him out of Kenya’s games against Zimbabwe and Namibia in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
On Sunday, he came on as a halftime substitute in the win. The victory ended the club’s nine-match winless streak and eased pressure on the club.
The home team started well, winning a ninth-minute penalty, which Petrovic Njegos stepped forward to take. Although he initially failed to score, he was given a chance to retake the penalty, which he fired home.
Two minutes before the interval, Caleb Zady doubled the lead, giving the hosts a two-goal cushion heading into halftime. They defended their advantage in the second half to secure maximum points.
