Las Palmas' Etebo reacts after winning debut against Malaga

Oghenekaro Etebo disclosed that he is pleased after making his maiden appearance in the Spanish topflight as Las Palmas caged Malaga 1-0 on Monday night.

The Nigeria international who joined the LaLiga side on loan from Feirense till the end of the season on transfer deadline day, gave an outstanding performance at the heart of the midfield in an encounter that featured three Nigeria internationals at the Estadio Gran Canaria.

Alen Halilovic’s effort in the 80th minute was enough to give the hosts an edge over fellow relegation strugglers as they remain unmoved in the 19th spot with 17 points from 22 games so far.
