Marauding Kenyan left back Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma picked a vital three points on Wednesday evening in Sweden when his AIK side got back to winning ways as they recorded only their second win of the new 2022 Swedish top tier season.Having finished as the league runners up last season, Marcelo’s side endured a difficult start going into their fourth game on Wednesday as they had lost two of their three opening matches. But against Varbergs, AIK, which is home to Marcelo and talented youngsters Henry Meja and Collins Sichenje, managed to pick a second win of the season. Here is a wrap of how action unfolded.AIK 1-0 VarbergsPlayed at the Friends Arena, Marcelo featured for the full length of the game as he helped his side keep a clean sheet in their narrow 1-0 victory against Varbergs.In the game of fine margins, it was Sebastian Larsson’s 27th minute penalty that proved to be the difference as AIK resolutely held onto the three precious points to jump upto 10th on the log on 6 points.While Otieno got game time under his belt, the same could not be said about Collins Sichenje and Henry Meja. Despite being available, Meja was not selected in the matchday squad for the game. Sichenje, on the other hand, is understood to be unavailable as he is yet to secure a work permit following his move from AFC Leopards and therefore remains ineligible to feature for the club.Elsewhere, Djurgarden, home to former Gor Mahia defender Frank Odhiambo, rescued a point as they forced a 1-1 draw against current table toppers Goteborg. In that match, Odhiambo was missing in action for the fourth league game in a row.
