Anyembe featured as a center back for Viborg in Denmark, while Erick 'Marcelo' Ouma continued to show his industry in Rakow's draw with Korona Kielce.

Harambee Stars defender Daniel Anyembe delivered a commanding performance as a center back in Viborg FF's goalless draw against AaB in the Danish Super Liga on Sunday. 

On a cold afternoon at Aalborg Portland Park, Anyembe stood out with a solid defensive display. The Viborg defender posted a remarkable 92 percent pass accuracy, made four clearances, and won two of his three ground duels, illustrating his composure under pressure.

In a match where Viborg had the better chances, their offensive efforts were thwarted by AaB’s resilient defense and goalkeeping heroics.

Viborg came closest to scoring when Ibrahim Said, with an electrifying solo run, hit the inside of the post after weaving through multiple defenders. Later, Renato Jr forced a fine save from AaB goalkeeper Vincent Müller with a long-range strike.

The second half saw Viborg maintain their intensity, with Said once again testing Muller with a low shot, but the elusive breakthrough never came. Anyembe's defensive contributions were critical in ensuring Viborg secured a clean sheet, leaving the team with a hard-earned point.

Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma Impresses for Raków

In Poland, Erick Ouma played the full 90 minutes for Rakow Czestochowa in their 1-1 draw against Korona Kielce. Ouma, operating as a wing-back, exhibited his trademark energy and skill, winning nine of his 12 ground duels and successfully completing all three of his take-ons.

The match saw Vladyslav Kocherhin give Raków the lead with a clinical strike before Korona’s Adrián Dalmau snatched a dramatic equalizer in the 89th minute. Despite the late setback, Ouma’s performance was a bright spot for Raków, with his tireless runs and defensive solidity highlighting his importance to the squad.
