Godfrey Oboabona Makes Rizespor Debut

Nigeria international Godfrey Oboabona has finally made his much awaited debut for Turkish club Rizespor.

The 650,000 euros signing from Sunshine Stars, Akure was named in the starting eleven by manager Riza Calimbay for the Turkish Cup second round clash against Istanbulspor on Tuesday.

Rizespor did not concede in the game, with Florin Cernat scoring the match winner after 26 minutes in the 1 - 0 victory over Istanbulspor.

Godfrey Oboabona, regular center back for the Nigeria selection, is certain to get plenty more chances for the Rize based outfit after his performance against the Third League outfit.

In the Super League, he was listed in the preliminary roster in matches against Gaziantepspor and Galatasaray but failed to debut in both games.
