Mipo’s Irish Return
On a return to his hometown of Tallaght, Ireland, it was inevitable that West Ham United striker, Mipo Odubeko, would leave the net rippling, in the town where it all started…
Mipo scored his first goal for the Republic of Ireland U21’s on just his second appearance, slotting home the team’s second in a 3-0 win against Bosnia & Herzegovina.
The 19-year-old, who spent last season on loan at EFL sides, Huddersfield Town and Doncaster Rovers, only earned his first cap for the U21’s back in March. The young Irishmen perfectly drilled the ball into the bottom corner, after receiving a back over the top, scoring in the 63rd minute to put Ireland two goals ahead.
Mipo Odubeko and the ROI U21’s now sit third in Group F on 16 points, just one behind group leaders Sweden and second place Italy with a final qualification match to play on Monday against Montenegro.
