While some are blaming interim coach, Austin Eguavoen for the loss, others are dragging super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye for failing to stop the only goal of the match which was scored by Tunisia’s Youssef Msakni, in the 47th minute.

Meanwhile, very few others have expressed that the young sportsman is just a human like the rest of us.

Born 28, August, 1999, Maduka made his professional debut in the Regionalliga West for Fortuna Düsseldorf II in a game against Wuppertaler SV, replacing the injured Max Schijns on the 43rd minute of the game on 14 October 2017.

He finished the 2017/2018 season with 5 appearances, conceding just 1 goal and keeping 4 clean sheets, while his club finished the season in the 15th position with 36 points after 34 games, narrowly escaping relegation to Oberliga.
