Omonia Nicosia’s coach, Sofronios Avgousti, showered praise on Francis Uzoho for his outstanding performance in their recent triumph against Nea Salamis Famagusta in the Cypriot First Division.

Uzoho, the third choice at the club, received a rare starting opportunity due to the unavailability of first-choice goalkeeper Fabiano and Cyprus international Charalampos Kyriakidis, both sidelined due to injuries.

The goalkeeper seized the moment, playing the full duration of the match and securing a clean sheet as Omonia Nicosia clinched a decisive 2-0 victory.

Coach Avgousti acknowledged Uzoho’s resilience, stating, “He did his job. The goalkeeper has to be ready, and I know that position well. Very good work is being done at Ilias Pullos,” as reported by Philenews.com.

Uzoho’s standout performance comes as a significant relief for the goalkeeper, who is on the brink of losing his spot in the Super Eagles with the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations just weeks away.

With this compelling display, the former Deportivo and Elche player has positioned himself favorably for a starting role in Omonia Nicosia’s upcoming matches.
