The 19 year old Nigerian international, Uzoho kept a clean sheet on his debut for Elche and made four outstanding saves last Friday as his team recorded a 2-0 win over Malaga.

Lozano Neyder put the home side in front in the 36th minute before Martinez Borja scored a 63rd minute goal to close the encounter.

The victory was the second win of the season for Elche who 17th in the La Liga 2 table with 11 points from ten games.

Uzoho joined Elche on a season loan deal from Deportivo de la Coruna, a Segunda division side where he made his breakthrough last season in goal for playing for the youth side.

Uzoho’s performance may earn him another starting role when Elche host Real Zaragoza in their next game on Sunday.
