Ehije, in the starting lineup, scored the second goal in the 13th minute of the game. Subbed in the 70th minute after a masterclass performance, the season is sure going to be a banger for the young gladiator with greater positive shifts ahead.
Ukaki, who signed a contract with Botev Plovdiv, coming from Vista Academy back in January 2024, scored his first league goal in July 2024. He ended up with 7 goals in 58 appearances.
