Job Ochieng Scores First Top Flight Goal in Victory Against Elche

Job Ochieng reached a major milestone in his professional career by scoring his first top-flight goal against Elche. The young forward also set up Yangel Herrera for the second goal, validating his inclusion in Pellegrino Matarazzo's starting lineup.

His journey started when he left Nairobi at seventeen through a crowdfunding initiative to join Maspalomas in Gran Canaria. After financial struggles almost ended his dream early, key local mentors helped secure his footballing development.

He subsequently advanced through the ranks and delivered a strong season with Sanse in LaLiga Hypermotion by scoring nine goals. That standout campaign earned him a permanent place in the first-team squad for the current 2026-27 season.

Ochieng's impactful performance on the pitch proved decisive in overcoming a difficult away match.
