Nigerians Face Off In Finnish Cup Final

RoPS defeated IFK Mariehamn 4 - 0 in the semi - finals of the Finnish Cup on Saturday.

Three Nigerian players - Friday Obilor, Ndukaku Alison and Mbachu Emenike - were involved for 90 minutes in the most important match in RoPS history for the past six seasons.

Defender Ndukaku Alison was on target in the 59th minute for the team based in Rovaniemi.

In the Finnish championship, Alison has netted  2 goals in 18 games. That tally is one more than Friday Obilor, who is regarded by pundits as the best defender in the Veikkausliiga.
