'What Dreams Are Made Of' - Nigerians Praise Genk's Odey After Scoring Vs Liverpool
Published: October 23, 2019
Stephen Odey on Wednesday evening opened his UEFA Champions League goal account with a brilliant finish, albeit in Genk's 4-1 loss to defending champions Liverpool.
The former MFM striker replaced Nigerian national-teamer Paul Onuachu with less than ten minutes left on the clock at the Luminus Arena but was on hand to squeeze a decent effort past Alisson courtesy of Dieumerci Ndongala's assist two minutes from time.
Though it was little too late to kick start a comeback for his side, Nigerians were really thrilled with the quality of the strike and the industry the youngster put in at the opposition's final third during his short time on the pitch.
Below are some the tweets from Nigerians regarding his cameo performance :
@deejayfaremi: ''Stephen Odey scores for Genk. Eventful cameo for the former MFM striker. A booking and a goal in 8 minutes.''
@ChumaNnoli: ''Stephen Odey scores against Liverpool!! First ever for him. #UCL
