Uzoho concedes 4 goals in 12mins
Uzoho had kept two successive clean sheets for Elche.
The Nigeria Super Eagles goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho on Sunday, conceded five goals in Elche’s 5-1 defeat by Cadiz in a Spanish Segunda league clash.

Four of the goals were scored in 12 minutes in the second-half.
It was the first time the Super Eagles number one goalie was beaten in goal after keeping two successive clean sheets.

Elche had taken the lead through Sory Kaba in the ninth minute before Roberto Correa, Dejan Lekic, Jose Mari (pen.), Salva Sanchez, and Manuel Vallejo put five past the 20-year-old.

Elche, who have now lost four games this season, lie 4th with 14 points from 12 games.

Uzoho is expected to be in goal when Nigeria take on South Africa in a crucial Group E 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Johannesburg.

The three-time African champions lead the group on 9 points, while Bafana Bafana, who stunned the Eagles in the first leg in Uyo, are in second position with eight points.
