Igho Ogbu marked his recent call-up to the Nigerian national team with a goal as Slavia Prague secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Jablonec on Sunday night.
The defender found the net in the ninth minute, recording his second goal of the season before being substituted just before half-time.
Ogbu’s impact and early substitution
The 24-year-old center-back played a crucial role in Slavia Prague’s strong start, heading in the opening goal early in the contest.
However, his night was cut short in the 39th minute when he was replaced by Štěpán Chaloupek.
Slavia Prague extended their advantage through Tomáš Chorý before Jablonec’s goalkeeper, Jan Hanuš, inadvertently put the ball into his own net, sealing a comprehensive win for the league leaders.
