Kenneth Omeruo made a winning debut for his Spanish La Liga side, Leganes on Saturday in their 1-0 home win over ten-man Rayo Vallecano reports Completesportsnigeria.com.
Guido Carrillo 14th minute goal earned Leganes their second La Liga win of the season.
Rayo Vallecano’s Alvaro Medran was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 82nd minute of the defeat.
Omeruo replaced Unai Bustinza in the 29th minute after the right back twisted his ankle during the game.
The 24-year-old, Omeruo was an unused substitute for Leganes in their games against Real Madrid, Villarreal, and Real Betis.
Omeruo joined Leganes on a season loan deal from English Premier League club, Chelsea.
Omeruo is one of the nine defenders invited by Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr for next weekend’s double-take 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Libya’s Mediterranean Knights.
Leganes are now 18th in the La Liga table with seven points from seven games.

The 21-year-old forward has made nine appearances and has scored twice.
