The 26-year-old Harambee Stars prospect produed a solid-if unspectacular - display as Bristol City were held by Huddersfield.
Harambee Stars prospect Zak Vyner Obiero delivered a solid, albeit unspectacular, individual performance at the heart of Bristol City's defense during their 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town in a Championship clash on Saturday evening.
Vyner made two clearances and completed two blocks and interceptions as he helped Bristol avoid defeat playing in the middle of a back three on the afternoon.
Delano Burgzorg opened the scoring for the hosts after a devastating first-half counter-attack spearheaded by the impressive David Kasumu.

STARS ABROAD Al Duhail coach grapples with striking dilemma as Olunga faces extended absence
Al Duhail faces a striking dilemma with Michael Olunga's injury affecting their attack as fixture congestion looms large.
Tommy Conway capped off a tidy move for the Robins straight after the break, slotting home Andreas Weimann’s precise cross to equalise.
Huddersfield took 20 minutes to wake up and almost took the lead with their first attempt. Lackadaisical goalkeeping from Max O’Leary smacked the ball straight onto the head of Ben Wiles but the ball fortuitously only found the outside of the net.
The home side eventually opened the scoring after a blistering counter-attack. Kasumu’s 40-yard burst took him through the heart of the City midfield and his deft ball into the path of Burgzorg allowed the Dutchman to smash home his fourth of the season.

STARS ABROAD Al Duhail provide injury update about Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga
Olunga came off the bench to score a goal against Persepolis but had to be substituted again during stoppage time.
Seconds after the break, City found an equaliser. Dickie’s pass sliced open the Town defence and with an inch-perfect ball across the box, Weimann found Conway who stroked home the leveller from 12 yards out.
Huddersfield are now winless at home since October while City slip to three without victory.
Vyner, who was born to a Kenyan mother and an English father, has become the cornerstone of the Bristol City defence, who are pushing hard to get promoted to the English Premier League next season.
