Gopey: Ex-Wikki Tourist star scores on FC Inhulets debut against Shakhtar Donetsk

The former NPFL star got his maiden goal for Serhiy Lavrynenko’s men in Saturday’s defeat to the 13-time Ukrainian Premier League kings

Stephen Gopey scored on his debut for FC Inhulets Petrove in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in a Ukrainian Premier League encounter.

Having replaced Artem Sitalo at the beginning of the second half, the 21-year-old justified his inclusion with a goal although Serhiy Lavrynenko’s side began the 2021-22 campaign on a losing note.

Thanks to his impressive displays at Nigeria Professional Football League outfit Wikki Tourist, the youngster was signed by the Ukrainian elite division side on a three-year contract.
