Enyeama Keeps Another Clean Sheet -As Ogbeche Returns To Action Lille Metropole of France goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama returned to clean slates at the weekend, as he ended 90 minutes of action with his Ligue 1 club without conceding a goal. Just as it was at the start of the season, when he put up a long stretch of matches without letting in a single goal, en route to breaking one record and coming close to another, Enyeama kept another clean sheet on Saturday, as Lille played out a goalless draw with FC Nantes. However, it was not an easy day for Enyeama, as Nantes, who were the visiting side, almost opened the scoring in the 12th minute when Serge Gakpe latched onto Issa Cissokhos pass and let fly a sizzler, forcing the Super Eagles shot-stopper into a heroic save. Nantes came close again shortly before half time as Itay Shechter cut into the box went for goal from a tight angle, but he too was denied by Enyeama. The away side remained dominant until the hour mark, but Lille began to apply some pressure of their own shortly after, former Chelsea of England Ivorian attacker, Salomon Kalou heading narrowly over in the 64th minute. Kalou came even closer in the 76th minute when he picked up Ryan Mendess headed pass and forced an impressive save out of Remy Riou in the Nantes goal. Franck Beria could have won in for the hosts in the 90th minute, but Riou was on hand to keep out his right-footed drive and ensure that the match ended goalless. In Holland, former Super Eagles striker, Bartholomew Ogbeche returned to action for CS Cambuur as they recorded a 3-2 home win over RKC Waalwijk on Friday. Ogbeche came on as an 81st minute substitute for Paco van Moorsel, after being ruled out by a hamstring injury since early February, but it was Elvis Manu who scored the winner five minutes from time for Cambuur who leapt up to ninth place.
