Former Water fc graduate and Wydad Casablanca of Morroco player Okechukwu Gabriel made his long awaited debut in the Japanese league, after injury prevented him for some weeks.
The Abuja-based player had signed a mouth watering deal of four years worth $2 million.
He was introduced in the second half and wasted no time to show what he is made up with good positioning, and almost found the back of the net, no thanks to good goalkeeping of kashima Alters.
It was a close contest as the match ended in a draw.
Just two days ago, Water fc prodigy Adewale Oladoye made his own debut with Gent fc in a 2-0 victory.
Water fc of Abuja has produced players for the national teams including the likes of Babatunde Micheal of Brazil 2014, Habib Makajuola U-17 World Cup winner 2013.
Sucess Makanjuola, Adewale Oladoye, Emeka Chinoso, U-20 world cup player under Coach Paul Aigbogun, as well as Okechukwu Gabriel was invited to the Super Eagles under late coach Stephen Keshi.
