Nigeria national football team defender Olisa Ndah made a solid debut for Stellenbosch FC in their 2–1 victory over Chippa United on Saturday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Ndah featured for 84 minutes before being replaced by Wonderboy Makhubu, who was later sent off in the closing stages of the keenly contested encounter.
Deployed in an unfamiliar defensive midfield role, the centre-back delivered an assured performance, recording a 100 percent success rate in both tackles and clearances.
The Nigerian only recently joined Stellenbosch on a free transfer, with his debut delayed due to work permit issues.
The victory lifted the Maroons to eighth position on the league table with 28 points, as Ndah’s encouraging display provided an early glimpse of his potential impact at the club.
