Kenyan international Johanna Omolo was missing in Kocaelispor’s 2-1 loss to MKE Ankaragücü on Saturday with injury as Jonah Ayunga featured for 90 minutes as Morecambe played to a barren draw against AFC Wimbledon.Omolo had started in their previous match against Ümraniyespor but only managed 27 minutes then before being withdrawn with an injury after just 27 minutes in the game which saw him miss yesterday’s game.The injury came as a blow to the team and to the Kenyan as well having in mind that he has featured in only 11 of the 20 matches Kocaelispor have played this season.📣 MAÇ SONUCUKocaelispor 1-2 MKE Ankaragücü #KSvMKEA pic.twitter.com/dseV3DHpYj— Kocaelispor (@Kocaelispor) January 15, 2022 Şahverdi Çetin opened the scoring for the visitors 33 minutes in the game before Michael Pereira leveled for Kocaelispor six minutes later, five minutes after they had been reduced to ten men following the sending off of Abdoulaye Cisse for a dangerous tackle.The hosts put up a spirited performance to keep the visitors at bay despite the numerical disadvantage but went down with just four minutes left in regular time courtesy of a Mehmet Murat Uçar strike in the 86th minute.Jonah AyungaIn England, Ayunga was making his 18th appearance for Morecambe this season and perhaps had hopes of extending his goal tally to three and inspire the team out of the relegation zone but it was not to be.90′ – #Shrimps sub.Alfie McCalmont replaces Jonah Ayunga.0-0 | #UTS 🦐 | #WIMvMOR— Morecambe FC (@ShrimpsOfficial) January 15, 2022 A win for Morecambe would have seen them switch position with their opponent for the day, Wimbledon, who are directly above them on the log with just two points separating the two teams although the latter have played two games less.The hosts were dealt a blow 68 minutes in when Wesley McDonald was taken off with an injury and his place taken up by Arthur Gnahoua as Ayunga and company continued with the hunt for a goal, or goals.Ayunga would be subbed off on the 90 minutes mark, and Alfie McCalmont thrown in to play through the stoppage minutes.
