On Sunday evening, Kenyan international Joseph Okumu played the entire match for IF Elfsborg as they drew 1-1 with Orebro in a Swedish top-tier match at the Boras Arena.

Albanian forward Agon Mehmeti opened the scoring for Orebro in the 40th minute, but Elfsborg leveled matters in the 67th minute through Jesper Karlson's penalty kick.

Okumu has become an important player for Elfsborg, starting all four matches for the team since the new Allsvenskan season kicked off earlier this month.

Elfsborg currently sits fifth on the log with six points from four matches and will face top-of-the-table Norrkoping in an away match on Wednesday.

Okumu, 23, joined Elfsborg from USA second-tier side Ream Monarchs late last year.
