Dele Alampasu shines in debut game for new club

Alamapasu was handed his maiden start of the season for Ventspils in their 3 – 1 win over FK Spartak in the Latvian Virsliga on Monday.

Alampasu who emerged as the Golden Glove winner at the FIFA 2013 U-17 World Cup joined Ventspil aa couple of months back in a desperate move to revive his dwindling football career.

The 23-year old had endured a disappointing five years adventure with the Portuguese side Feirense before opting for a new challenge albeit in a somewhat lesser league.

Alampasu did give a good account of himself as he made some decent saves to help his team secured the vital away win and also a memorable debut for himself.

See his reaction after the game:
