STARS ABROAD Eric Johana Omondi efforts fall short as UTA Arad fail to clinch victory against U Cluj
Omondi, who was excommunicated from the Harambee Stars camp in the last international break, played the entire 90 minutes but could not help UTA prevent drawing against U Cluj.
Rakow Czestochowa initially took the lead thanks to a stunning strike from Ante Crnac just before the 25-minute mark.
Crnac's goal, a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, set the tone for what was to be a highly competitive game.
Despite the efforts of Ruch Chorzów to level the score, including notable attempts by Soma Novothy and crucial clearances by Dante Stipica, the first half concluded with Raków holding onto their lead.
The second half saw an intensified attack from both sides, with Crnac threatening the goal once more and Lukasz Moneta eventually finding the back of the net for Ruch Chorzów, securing a draw in the closing moments of the match.
