Disappointing afternoon for Super Eagles goalkeeper as Willem shatter Sparta - Maduka Okoye

Maduka Okoye pulled off a string of fine saves, but it was not enough to prevent ten-man Sparta Rotterdam from falling to a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Willem II in an Eredivisie face-off on Sunday.

Featuring in his 17th league game of the season, Okoye did his bit to help the home side go into the break with a clean sheet against fellow strugglers Willem II.

Both teams had won none of their last ten matches combined, but it was the visitors who showed more quality in attack to open the scoring in the 68th-minute; Che Nunnely doing well to head home a decent Mike Tresor cross that caught the Sparta defence sleeping.
