Maduka Okoye happy with Udinese victory over AS Roma

Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye expressed satisfaction after helping Italian Serie A side Udinese defeat AS Roma on Monday.

​The Zebras claimed a surprise 1-0 win over the Giallorossi at the Bluenergy Stadium. Jürgen Ekkelenkamp scored the winning goal from a deflected free kick four minutes after the break, while Okoye made several vital saves—including a key stop against Donyell Malen—to help the home team preserve their lead.

​The Nigeria international quoted on the club’s official website, praised his teammates for their spirited effort, noting that the squad is working hard to ensure they continue winning games and making their fans happy.

​“I’m happy to have helped the team today. We put in a great performance; I’m happy for ourselves and for the fans. We’re working hard and staying united, from the players to the staff. We can compete with anyone.”
