Former Super Eagles striker Osaze Odemwingie scored in debut for his Indonesian club, Madura United as they beat Bali United Pusam 2-0 to open the new season on Sunday.
Bayu Sanggiawan had given Madura the lead in the 32nd minute, before Odemwingie, who came in as a substitute, scored in the 74th minute to seal the win.
Odemwingie joined the Indonesian side from England lower division club Rotherham United as a free agent on 3 April.
During his time in the England, Odemwingie played for West Brom, Stoke, Cardiff and Bristol City (loan).
He also played for Lille in French Ligue 1, La Louviere in the Belgian first division and in the Russian top flight with Lokomotiv Moscow.
Odemwingie had a rough patch since suffering a serious injury two seasons ago while at English Premier League side Stoke City. He had a loan spell at Championship side Bristol City but failed to regain the form that made him a feared force in the English Premier League.
He is now part of the big name players plying their trade in Indonesia with former Ghana, Chelsea and Real Madrid ace Mikel Essien.
Madura temporarily stay atop the league table.
