Facing his former club, Dele Aiyenugba would have been motivated as he walked on to the pitch on Wednesday as Kwara United take on Enyimba.
The 36-year-old goalie was instrumental for the Elephants in their glory days on the continent as they won the Champions League back to back.
Returning to the NPFL against Jigawa Golden Stars where he bagged his first clean sheet for the season, the NPFL returnee has helped his team bag 4 points in a possible 6.
Having not started the first three games for the Harmony Boys, the goalie became the second goalkeeper in Kwara United’s history to keep a clean sheet away from home after Abdullateef Ishola did against Plateau United on matchday 1.
The league winning goalkeeper now joins the likes of Rivers United’s Theophilus Afelokhai, Enyimba’s Olufemi Kayode and a host of other goalies who have 2 clean sheets so far.
Leading the race for the golden glove will be Plateau United’s Chinedu Anozie who has 3 clean sheets from 4 games.
Anozie who won the golden gloves last season missed matchday 1 due to injury but has since helped his team with 3 clean sheets consecutively.
With 10 goalies having kept a clean sheet each, the total number of the clean sheet after 5 games is totaled at 33.
Only Abia Warriors who are rock bottom on the log and are one of the two teams without a win this season are yet to keep a clean sheet.
