The Harambee Stars midfielder and his teammates will now focus on proceding to the playoff round of the 2024 UEFA Europa League by beating Sherrif Tiraspor on Thursday.
Harambee Stars midfielder Timothy Ouma featured but did little to help prevent IF Elfsborg from losing to Michael Olunga’s former club Djurgaden in an Allsvenskan clash that took place on Sunday evening.
Ouma, who came on as a substitute, featured for 16 minutes, but did not really have enough time to really influence the outcome of the game, with the managerOscar Hiljemark clearly resting him as they prepare to finish the job off in the return leg of the Europa League second qualifying round on Thursday.
The match started with Djurgaden taking possession early on, but neither team created significant scoring chances in the first part of the match. Both sides showed good intensity and engaged in numerous duels on the pitch.
