Olawoyin shines for Rizespor
Olawoyin's goal helped his team bounce back from a disappointing 6-2 defeat by Galatasaray in their previous match.
The 26-year-old, affectionately known as '042 Hazard' from his Enugu Rangers days, proved to be the catalyst for Rizespor's resurgence, scoring a stunning headed goal to give his side a vital 2-1 lead.
)
Not content with just finding the back of the net, Olawoyin's impact extended far beyond scoring goals. He dominated the statistics sheet, completing the most dribbles, drawing fouls, and orchestrating chances with his visionary passes.
Displaying his versatility and defensive prowess, he demonstrated his defensive capabilities by completing three out of five long balls, making six crucial recoveries, and winning 100% of his tackles, showcasing his commitment to both ends of the pitch.

Super Eagles Overlook Olawoyin Despite Form
However, despite his fine form and contributions to his club, he was once again overlooked for the latest Super Eagles squad for the double-header against Ghana and Mali.
It remains a mystery as to why Olawoyin has yet to be given an opportunity to represent his country at the international level.
)
With each impressive performance, he surely must be catching the eye of national team selectors.
But for now, Olawoyin will have to continue proving himself on the domestic front while waiting for his chance to shine on the international stage.
