Friday Nets First Goal As Sparta Rotterdam Beat Ogbeche's Willem II
Published: February 04, 2018
Ex-Dream Team VI invitee, Fred Friday scored his first goal for Sparta Rotterdam in their 1-0 defeat of Bartholomew Ogbeche's Willem II in the Netherlands Eredivisie on Sunday afternoon.
The 22-year old striker who moved to the Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel outfit during the January window got off the mark on his fourth appearance for the club, turning home after 23 minutes of action as the hosts took the much needed lead.
And it ultimately stayed that way to give the bottom-placed Sparta just their third league win of the season and moving them to within three points to safety in the 18-team division, with Willem II sitting four places above in 14th.
While Friday was in action for 76 minutes against the Tricolores, Ogbeche who scored to help his side into the KNVB Cup semifinals last time out came on for the visitors in the 46th minute but could only pick up a stoppage time booking for his troubles.
Ogbeche and Willem II would hope to bounce back from the defeat when they host VVV Venlo on Wednesday while Friday's Sparta Rotterdam would continue their fight for survival with a trip to Utrecht.
