Nigerian goalkeeper, Uzoho sent off on his return to league action in Cyprus

Nigerian gooalkeeper Francis Uzoho, who plays for Greek Cypriot side, Anorthosis was sent-off on his return to the team after a six-game absence due to a health certificate scandal.

Uzoho received the first red card of his career in the 23rd minute of Monday night’s 3-0 home win over Alki Oroklinis.

The fourth official, Timotheos Christofi, informed the referee that Uzoho made an offensive gesture towards the Alki Oroklini supporters.

Witnesses say the Nigerian raised his middle finger to the crowd.

The keeper was given his marching orders for unsportsmanlike conduct, shortly after Anorthosis had scored their second goal of the game.
