It’s a day of contrasting results for Super Eagles stars led by goalkeeper Maduka Okoye
Okoye was in goal as Rotterdam put three goals past their helpless hosts during the decisive final game of the Eredivisie season at the Erve Asito.
The 22-year-old was denied a deserved clean sheet after making four saves, including three good ones to keep the home side, who needed a win to preserve their Eredivisie status.
Arno Verschueren put Rotterdam 1-0 up heading into the break before Lennart Thy and Mario Engels added two more goals in the second half.
Sinan Bakis pulled one goal back to give Heracles a consolation, denying Nigeria’s number one goalkeeper his seventh clean sheet of the season.
The game was Okoye’s last for Rotterdam and he will join English side, Watford after putting pen to paper in the winter window.
