Nigerian Youngster Momoh Dazzles on First Start for Club NK Istra of Croatia
Cyril Ogar
It was a dream start for 18-year-old Nigerian defender Muntari Momoh in the colours of Croatian club NK Istra, as he helped his team secure a 2-0 away victory over Slaven Belupo on Friday evening.
Playing in central defence, Momoh delivered an impressive performance, displaying composure and defensive solidity through his timely tackles, aerial prowess and ability to distribute the ball confidently under pressure.
His outstanding display earned him an impressive 7.7 rating, underlining his impact in what was his first start for the Croatian club.
The former Mavlon FC defender has continued to show tremendous development in his game, and his performance represents an encouraging milestone for the teenager, who joined NK Istra during the January transfer window.
“His performance deserves congratulations, especially for everyone who believes in Momoh’s ability to play at the highest level in the Croatian top flight. We are all very happy for him,” an official of the club, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told www.totorinews.com.
“It was a very important victory, winning 2-0 away from home. The defence kept a clean sheet, and Momoh played the entire match. At just 18 years old, we are very pleased with his performance,” the official added.
The no-nonsense defender was invited to the Flying Eagles squad for the WAFU B U20 Championship in Côte d’Ivoire in July but was not released by NK Istra for the competition, as the club considered him an important part of its plans for the season.
There is no doubt that Momoh is gradually establishing himself as an important prospect at NK Istra. His commanding performance against Slaven Belupo, capped by a clean sheet and a 7.7 rating, is another indication of the young Nigerian’s growing potential in European football.
