Nigeria's Okeke relishing prospect of maiden Madrid Derby against Ohale's Tacon

Madrid defender Chidinma Okeke is anxious to make her maiden appearance in the Madrid Derby as they take on Osinachi Ohale's CD Tacon at the Ciudad Deportiva Real Madrid on Sunday.

The first Spanish capital women's derby will pitch Okeke against Ohale, with the two Super Falcons stars called up for the Olympic qualifying tie against Cote d'Ivoire next month.

The FC Robo Queens product has featured in all three opening matches for Oscar Fernández's team since her arrival in August, putting up a solid performance to inspire their fine start.

In three games, Madrid have accrued six points and are ninth on the log ahead of their close rivals Tacon.
