Elche ’ s Nigerian goalkeeper Francis Uzoho conceded five goals against Cadiz who completed a stunning 5 -1 victory in Sunday ’ s Spanish Segunda league clash .Interestingly , the Nigerian international , who had kept two clean sheets in the League prior to Sunday ’ s defeat , was beaten four times in the second half of the encounter .

The 20 – year – old Uzoho conceded four goals in a 12 – minute spell in the second half .

Sory Kaba had shot visitors Elche into the lead in the ninth minute but goals from Roberto Correa , Dejan Lekic , Jose Mari ( penalty ) , Salva Sanchez , and Manuel Vallejo handed Uzoho’ s team their fourth defeat of the season .

Elche are now 14 th with 14 points from 12 games while Cadiz are 13 th in the table but with a superior goal difference to Uzoho ’ s team .

Uzoho and his Elche ’ s teammates will be looking to bounce back from the shambolic defeat when they host Las Palmas in their next league game on Saturday .

Uzoho , currently on a season loan deal from Deportivo de La Coruna, has been preferred in goal ahead of the veteran goalkeeper José Juan since he returned from international duty this month .

At the Nou Municipal de Cornella stadium , Ramon Azeez was an unused substitute for Lugo in their goalless draw away at Reus .

Azeez , has made five appearances in all competitions this season for Lugo .
