Nigerian Exports: Kayode Assists, Uzoho Starts, Nwakaeme & Friday Score, Ogu Fails Fitness TestAllnigeriasoccer.com reviews the performances of Nigerian players for their foreign clubs on Monday, October 23.

Former Golden Eaglets goalkeeper Francis Uzoho came under scrutiny in Deportivo La Coruna's La Liga tie against Girona at Estadio Municipal de Riazor.

The 18-year-old was beaten from the spot by Aday in the 25th minute and let in another goal in the 71st minute when Cristian Portu delicately hit the ball under the goalkeeper's legs after he was teed up by Olarenwaju Kayode.

The Super Eagles striker proved a handful for Deportivo La Coruna's defenders and earned a penalty for Girona in the first half. Both Kayode and Uzoho put in a full shift for their respective teams.

Over to the Dutch Jupiler League, Fred Friday scored the solitary goal for Jong AZ Alkmaar after 52 minutes in their 2-1 loss to FC Oss.

Whilst the former Nigeria U23 invitee played the entirety of the game,
FC Oss striker Fisayo Adarabioyo watched proceedings from the bench.

Elsewhere, Marco Tagbajumi, Ifeanyi Matthew and Charles Ezeh played the entirety of Lillestrom's 1-0 loss against Odd at Skagerak Arena.

Lillestrom number seven Moses Ebiye subbed in with eight minutes left on the clock, teammate Chigozie Udoji was an unused substitute.

In the Swedish top-flight, Chinedu Obasi started and was in action for 81 minutes as AIK played out a goalless draw with Malmo, for whom Innocent Bonke was an unused substitute.

Anthony Nwakaeme scored his seventh goal in all competitions as Hapoel Beer Sheva claimed a 2-1 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv. 

The Super Eagles hopeful cut from the left to the center and kicked a powerful ball into the right corner in the 62nd minute.

John Ogu wasn't available for the champions after failing a fitness test before the game. He suffered a
quadriceps injury in the Europa League tie against Steaua Bucharest last Thursday.
