Harambee Stars midfielder Richard Odada opens goal account in Denmark

Harambee Stars midfielder Richard Odada marked his first start for Danish second-tier outfit Aalborg in style as he scored his first goal for the club in their 3-1 win over Kolding IF on Sunday.

After impressing in the last two matches, where he came off the bench in wins over Hobro and Hillerød, coach Oscar Hiljemark handed the Kenyan a starting berth in midfield as they sought to extend their unbeaten streak in the league to four matches.

Odada, who is expected to link up with the national team for the upcoming friendlies against Qatar and South Sudan, lasted on the pitch for 74 minutes before being withdrawn for Mads Bomholt.

So far, AaB have won all three matches in which the Kenyan has been involved, a run that has seen them open a three-point gap at the summit of the standings.

The loanee from Major League Soccer outfit Philadelphia Union opened the scoring in the game after just eight minutes, with Nicklas Helenius and Younes Bakiz adding the goals for AaB from the spot early in the second half, just four minutes apart.

Five minutes after Odada had gone off, Asker Beck scored the consolation for Kolding as the match ended 3-1.

In the Danish top tier, another Kenyan, Daniel Anyembe, featured the whole length of the match as Viborg held FC Copenhagen to a barren draw on the road.

Defenders Joseph Okumu and Collins Sichenje were also in action as their teams recorded identical two-all draws.

While Okumu was introduced for the final 30 minutes of the game against Metz, Sichenje played the whole length of their draw against HJK, failing to reclaim the top spot.

Elsewhere in Sweden, Erick 'Marcelo' Ouma featured the entire game as AIK were hammered 4-2 by Hammarby.

AIK have had a disastrous campaign and lie 14th on the log with just 22 points from as many matches.
