Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye failed to keep a clean sheet as Roma defeated Udinese 3-0 in Sunday’s Serie A game.
The Nigerian international, who was making his fifth appearance, has conceded seven goals this ongoing season for Udinese.
Artem Dovbyk tested Maduka Okoye at the near post on an Angelino pass, while Kingsley Ehizibue failed to make the most of Mile Svilar flapping at a Florian Thauvin cross.

However, Roma took the lead when Stephan El Shaarawy’s through ball sent Dovbyk racing, he drew out the goalkeeper and fired in the angled drive to the far bottom corner.
Straight after the restart, Dybala fell over Jaka Bijol’s outstretched leg and converted the penalty himself, firing into the top corner to double Roma’s advantage.
Roma added a third when Tommaso Baldanzi surged forward, completed a give and go with Dovbyk and beat the goalkeeper one-on-one. It was the Italy Under-21 international’s first goal in the Giallorossi jersey.

looooooooooool. wetin happen, where are the statics crew. Wetin happen to your Okoye is better than nwabali.
Every Goal Concedes goals.
And whats your point? You should be directing that to the narcissist who feels that no keeper concedes.
Hahahahaha…Okponu…I knew you will open your empty brains to talk. I was patiently waiting for you and you never disappointed…..LMAOOoo.
Ederson conceeded 2 goals yesterday….so please tell us which GK does not conceede.
But read the report again…..Okoye is conceeding goals against AS ROMA’s Dovbyk, Dybala etc in the Stadio Olympico in front of close to 30000 fans…..your Nwabali is conceeding goals against jeun jeun footballers in empty pavilions against Amazulu FC, Amahoro FC, Amakwekwe FC, Kokoorookoo FC, Ajegunle FC and other rag-tag teams…..LMAOOo
That’s the difference between the two.
And yes, we would remind you the statistics again….
Okoye – 16 SE caps – 11 goals conceeded, 8 clean sheets
Nwabali – 15 SE caps – 16 goals conceeded 6 clean sheets with 7 defenders….LMAOooo
Okoye who isnt even at his peak yet is recording better performances and figures and playing at the highest level of football at 24 years of age (real age) while your “fake enyeama” at his peak (at his football age) can only be relied on only when he has 7 defenders in front of him……LMAOOoo
LOOOOOOOOOOOL. Narcissist i just say make i dey remind you gradually, when your so called, he has better reflexes start chopping goals. Abeg why he no save the first goal. I bet Nwabali will. Abi dem forget to give am water bottle to inform him how to save penalty. Agbaya oshi
Hahahahaha….Okponu ayirada…Shebi all the 16 goals wey your low budget austin ejide don conceede in 15 SE appearances na Halaand score against am.
Abi the cheap ones wey e conceede vs Orlando Pirates last week, Na Lewandowski score am…LMAOoo
As you no get sense, make I remind you again say Na worldclass AS Roma players like Elsharawy, Dybala and Dovbyk Okoye dey face for Italy, still ending up 2nd best GK in xG saves in the serie A last season, not some Shabalala and Labalaba strikers wey dey rub your nwabaili for potopoto for south african league….LMAOoo
Okoye that is not good – 16 SE caps – 11 goals conceeded, 8 clean sheets
38yr old Nwabali your lord and saviour that is better than Okoye – 15 SE caps – 16 goals conceeded 6 clean sheets with 7 defenders….LMAOooo.
Shey you no see say your brain need serious dry cleaning….LMAOoo
Abeg when european clubs go come sign your fake enyeama as you promised na…LMAOoo
Every Goal Concedes goals.
Have always stated, having both Nwabali and Okoye in top form, is a good headache for the Super Eagles.
It’s like comparing Osimhen to Boniface OR Lookman to Simon; all good headaches. We need more of such across all department of the team to make the Eagles even much more formidable. Selection is now down to Manager’s preference, player’s form and tactical suitability
Without being sentimental, based on current form at the club side, it’s quite obvious that Okoye is the better keeper. Can’t compare the quality of the South African league to that of the Italian Serie A. Okoye is playing against far better opposition and still remains one of the best keepers in the Serie A. Unless something unfortunate happens, for his age, his stock will keep rising. The way he is held in Italy right now, he wouldn’t be in Udinese for long.

So funny how some people will just be watching highlights to conclude that a keeper is better than another. Really baffle me. Don’t seems to understand the current form you all keep talking about. Keep displaying your yeye stats. Thant will not have him back at the post.

THE POİNT İS,
They are both good players and we are lucky to have both. It is down to the prerogative of the coach to select who starts and any is fine by me.
BUT if we to go down that rational road, as much we love and appreciate both; as a true fan, that watches both their games (and that of most Nigerian players out there), currently, Okoye is better than Nwabili. It is just factual.
Okoye plays in a better league, has better stats, has shown far more growth (and has the years and environment to develop further), better weekly game play, even the highlights and eyes agree that he is better. It is just what is.
There is nothing factual in what you saying, it all boils down to hatred for Nwabali. What’s special about the highlights you watching. And what is wrong with SA league? Oga you have no point, is it not the same round leather game they playing. Abi the soccer ball for italy is different from that of SA.
