Boavista doubled their lead in added time of the first half when midfielder Ilija Vukotic converted another close-range finish.

However, things did not conclude as planned for Cristiano Bacci’s side, as goals from former Manchester United star, Luis Nani, and Joao Rodrigues ensured the spoils were shared on the night.

Nonetheless, in the aftermath of the fixture, the Nigerian defender took to social media to send a subtle message to Chelsea co-owner, Todd Boehly.

The 25-year-old wrote on his X handle while subtly urging Chelsea’s co-owner to consider a transfer for him:

Unfortunately for Onyemaechi, the goal was not enough to secure Boavista a win in the fixture. Coach Bacci’s side will be on the lookout for their maiden season victory in their next clash against Benfica.

According to data courtesy of FotMob, the goal by the Super Eagles defender was his first of the 2022/23 football season.
