FOOTBALL Watch: 'Emojong-Onana', KCCA fans label their young goalkeeper

Emojong, who only played 45 minutes, was likened to Manchester United new custodian Andre Onana because of the similarity in style.

KCCA FC fans that graced their club's day on Friday at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo were left mesmerized and enchanted by their young goalkeeper Anthony Emojong.

Making his senior debut at KCCA as they beat Kenya's Kakamega Homeboys 2-0 in a friendly match, the youngster was the talk at full-time at Lugogo.

Emojong, who only played 45 minutes, was likened to Manchester United new custodian Andre Onana because of the similarity in style.

His calmness on the ball, ability to make short and long-range passes and might to pass the ball under pressure led to the comparisons and metaphors.

He wasn't too bad with the primary goalkeeping role either, as he made a couple of decent saves against the Kenyans, despite his bijou size.

With every Emojong touch came loud cheers; with excitement, nervousness and anxiety in equal measure.

Emojong is a product of the club's junior team but spent last season at Lugazi FC as he helped them to fifth, keeping seven clean-sheets in 16 games. He conceded just five goals.
