Former Kotoko goalie Razak Abalora marks FC Sheriff debut in heavy win over FC Sfintul Gheorghe

Ghanaian goalkeeper Razak Abalora made his first league start for FC Sheriff in their 3-0 away win over FC Sfintul Gheorghe in the Moldova top-flight.

The former Asante Kotoko shot-stopper was handed a starting role in the all-important fixture as his side whitewashed the home side in the Moldova National Division on Saturday afternoon.

After a goalless first half, Regi Lushkja opened the scoring for FC Sheriff in the 62nd minutes before Bruno Felipe struck twice in the 74th and 80th minutes of the game.

FC Sheriff currently leads the league log after 21 rounds of matches with 53 points, 7 more than second-placed CS Petrocub.

Razak Abalora joined FC Sheriff in January this season after an impressive display in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

Abalora made 27 appearances in the Red shirt last season where he kept 13 clean sheets and conceded 18 goals in the process.

He played 9 matches in the Ghana Premier League this campaign, managing to keep 5 clean sheets and conceding 6 goals.

The highly-rated goalkeeper has four caps for the Black Stars since making his debut on 12 October 2020 in 5-1 win against Qatar in an international friendly
