Sofascore rewarded Okoye's stellar display with a commendable 7.9 rating. This win halted Bologna's four-game winning streak, marking the first time they failed to score since September. The surprise front runners were left unable to breach Okoye's defenses.

For Okoye, this triumph held special significance, as it not only showcased his skills on the field but also served as redemption after being criticized for the Super Eagles' early exit from the 2021 AFCON. Grateful to God for the opportunity, Okoye's Serie A debut proved to be a memorable and promising chapter in his career.
