Leeroy Owusu named in Danish 1. Division team of the week

Sofascore has recognized Dutch-born Ghanaian defender Leeroy Owusu for his exceptional performance in the Danish 1 Division, securing a place in the Team of the Week for Week 1.

Leeroy Owusu scored his first goal of the season as Odense Boldklub secured a 3-1 win against B 93 in the Danish 1. Division.

The 28-year-old played the full game at the Østerbro Stadion, contributing significantly to his team's victory.

The scoring opened after ten minutes when Jakob Bonde headed in Alasana Manneh's corner kick. The lead was doubled soon after, with Max Fenger heading in a goal following a left-wing cross from Nicholas Mickelson. Just three minutes later, Mickelson again charged down the left, this time passing to Owusu, who powerfully struck the ball into the net, making it 3-0 at halftime.

In the second half, B 93's Osman Addo, a Danish-born Ghanaian winger, attempted to rally his team with a shot saved by Viljar Myhra. Sebastian Clemmensen capitalized on the rebound, reducing the deficit to 3-1. However, Odense held firm to secure the win.

Owusu has now played five games and scored once in the Danish 1. Division this season.
