Super Eagles, midfielder Christantus Uche made his debut in the Europa Conference League, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Uche come in as a substitute for Ismaila Sarr in the 87th minute, as Crystal Palace suffered a 1-0 defeat to AEK Larnaca.

Despite dominating possession and creating several scoring opportunities, the hosts were unable to capitalize on their chances, ultimately succumbing to a well-timed strike from Riad Bajic in the 51st minute.

The Nigerian international's brief cameo lay to rest the speculation of Uche of his separation or suspension from the team  due to his late return from last international break.
