Maduka Okoye records three straight Serie A clean sheets, including vs AC Milan

Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye kept his third consecutive clean sheet as Udinese defeated AC Milan 3-0 in Serie A on Saturday, April 12, 2026. This follows shutouts against Genoa and Como, marking the first time in his Serie A career he's achieved three straight clean sheets.

Okoye's run showcases his recovery from a thigh injury that recently hampered his Super Eagles availability. At 26, he's been a consistent Udinese starter this season, providing defensive stability in tight matches through shot-stopping and leadership. His performance against Milan—a top Serie A attacking side—was particularly notable for maintaining vigilance throughout.

This streak highlights Okoye's growing consistency at Europe's highest level and his value to Nigeria's national team ahead of upcoming fixtures. Udinese remain competitive in a challenging campaign thanks to his recent form.

With Okoye hitting this milestone, will his club form translate to guaranteed Super Eagles starting spot, or must he maintain this level to secure his place between the sticks for Nigeria?
