Uche Features in Getafe’s 3-1 Defeat to Las Palmas > 자유게시판

Super Eagles hopeful Christantus Uche featured for Getafe as they fell 3-1 to Las Palmas in a La Liga clash on Saturday. The 22 year old midfielder made his 29th appearance of the season, having contributed three goals and five assists so far in the campaign.

Getafe opened the scoring in the 19th minute through Omar Alderete, raising hopes of a home win. However, Las Palmas responded strongly after the break. Silva equalised in the 53rd minute, and two further goals sealed an impressive comeback for the visitors.

Uche played a full part in midfield, but Getafe struggled to contain Las Palmas’ second-half surge. Despite the loss, the Nigerian continues to be a consistent presence in the squad.

Editorial

Christantus Uche’s growth this season has been steady and eye-catching. While Getafe’s form may fluctuate, Uche remains a in midfield quietly effective, tactically sound, and steadily maturing into the kind of player Nigeria needs to monitor closely.

The 3-1 defeat to Las Palmas is a tough pill to swallow, especially at home. But for Uche, every game in La Liga is a learning curve, and his consistent appearances speak volumes about the trust the coaching staff places in him.

We believe it’s time the NFF starts taking his progress seriously. He’s young, he’s gaining top-flight experience, and he’s versatile enough to offer the Super Eagles a much-needed midfield option. If Nigeria is serious about building for the future, players like Uche should be in the conversation.
