Harambee Stars midfielder Richard Odada made a significant impact for Aalborg BK in a Danish Division One match against Kolding, securing a 3-1 victory.

In this exciting game at Aalborg Portland Park, Odada, who recently joined the club, scored his first goal in the eighth minute to give his team an early lead.

Aalborg BK extended their lead in the 48th minute when Nicklas Helenius Jensen converted a penalty.

However, Jacob Vetter received a red card in the 51st minute, conceding another penalty in the process, which was expertly converted by Younes Bakiz, giving Aalborg a commanding 3-0 lead.

Odada’s impressive performance earned him a substitution in the 74th minute, making way for Mads Bomholt.

Although Kolding managed to score in the 79th minute, it was too late to mount a comeback.

Odada’s minutes

Since Odada’s debut for Aalborg BK, the club has enjoyed a three-game winning streak and currently sits at the top of the Division One standings. Odada, who joined the club on loan from Philadelphia Union, has made three appearances, totaling 110 minutes on the field.

His loan deal includes a buy option at the end of the season.

Wearing jersey number 16, the 22-year-old Kenyan international sought more playing time, as there were limitations on foreign players at his previous club, the MLS-based Philadelphia Union.

Odada’s international experience includes representing Kenya in five A-level international matches and two U-20 international matches. He also played in the Serbian league from 2019 to 2022.
