The game which was played in Istanbul Turkey ended 1-1 with Ozil an unused substitute for Fenerbahce.

Prior to kick-off, Okocha was presented to the fans and waved a jersey with his name and number 10 inscribed on the back.

And expressing his delight after meeting the 1994 AFCON winner, Ozil wrote on Twitter:”What an honour to meet one of my childhood idols: Jay Jay Okocha. It’s been great talking to you my friend.”

Okocha joined Fenerbahce from Frankfurt in 1996 and spent two seasons before his record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
