As predicted, the lad came on in the 34th minute of the Udinese - Inter game instead of Andy Van der Meyde. Damnit, I had to go out on work and missed the game. The game ended 0-0.

Martins played the full 90 minutes. Did anyone see the game??? I really wanted to see Eliakwu in action with the big boys. I guess it will have to be next time then.

A repotr states that the attack was giving life, with the understanding and cooperation of Martins and Eliakwu

Yep. Italy is a brilliant breeding ground for these young Nigerians. There are around 20 in all playing for Italy's top two divisions or their youth teams.
I just got some more news from the Italian papers. In the 10 minutes that he was on, Eliakwu did a magnificent dribble (stroke of genius as described in www.gazzetta.it) and had a shot at goal. Not bad overall, when you consider that Inter only had 2 shots at goal the entire game.

INTER PLAY OUT GOALLESS DRAW IN TIM CUP
Tuesday, 13 January 2004 22:23:19
UDINE - Everything is still to play for in the Tim Cup quarter-final after Udinese and Inter played out a goalless draw at the Friuli on Tuesday evening.

After an indifferent opening period Inter upped their game in the second half, particularly after the entrance of Greek international Karagounis , who added more verve in an attacking midfield position.

After three call-ups, Zaccheroni handed Primavera striker Isah 'Aly' Eliakwu his first-team debut, and the young Nigerian immedately showed signs of a good understanding with fellow countryman Obafemi Martins .

The two sides meet at the Meazza for the return leg in eight days' time. In the meantime, the Nerazzurri host Empoli in the Serie A on Sunday.
