Super Eagles defender, William Troost – Ekong, made his debut for Haugesund on Friday, few days after completing his transfer to the Norwegian top flight club.
In the Tippeligaen 18th round of matches, the central defender completed the full 90 minutes as Haugesund won its fifth game of the season, defeating Viking 1 – 0 in Stavanger, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
Troost – Ekong was not the only Nigerian player in action at the Viking Stadium, with Samuel Adegbenro and Flying Eagles striker Suleiman Abdullahi making the starting XI for the home team.
Interestingly, Abdullahi and Adegbenro struck the post in the first and second half respectively, as Haugesund ran out winners thanks to an own goal by Karol Mets in the 69th minute.
