Kenyan international Timothy Ouma made his first appearance for his Swedish club, Elfsborg as they came from behind twice to beat Sirius 4-3 on the road on Monday night.Despite being named on the bench in two other matches this season, the former Nairobi City Stars player was unused in the wins over Halmstad and Mjällby.However, as the team trailed 3-2 on Monday night, Coach Jimmy Thelin introduced Ouma with 13 minutes of regular time left on the clock in place of André Rømer and he went on to become part of the team that completed the comeback in just two minutes.##NAJAVA_MECA_7235091##Sveinn Aron Guðjohnsen gave Elfsborg the lead after 18 minutes but Aron Bjarnason equalized 14 minutes later, with André Alsanati scoring deep in stoppage time of the first half to see Sirius head into the break with the lead.Jacob Ondrejka, who had created the first goal for Elfsborg, scored to make it 2-2 but Melker Heier reclaimed Siriu’s lead three minutes after.Ten minutes after Ouma had come on, substitute Jack Cooper made it 3-3 with Johan Larsson scoring the fourth goal to complete the glorious comeback in the 89th minute.Kenyan defender set to leave English clubElfsborg are second on the log with 16 points, five off the top-placed Malmo who are on 21 points.With AIK’s Kenyan duo of Henry Meja and Collins Sichenje together with Djurgarden’s defender Frank Odhiambo all sent on loan by their parent clubs, Ouma remains the only Kenyan who moved to the Swedish top tier last year who is still playing in the top division, of course together with the established Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma whose team had had a poor start to the campaign.
