Kenyan international striker Dennis Oliech scored for Ligue 1 side Nantes in a 1-3 loss to Olympic Marseille at home on Saturday.

Oliech who came in as second half substitute for injured Mamadou Diallo scored in the 76th minute.According to Nantes website the Kenyan striker headed home a cross from Oliver Quint on the left wing.

The goal was the first for Oliech in Ligue 1 but his second for Nantes since he joined the club four months ago on a close to Sh300 million transfer from Al-Arabi of Qatar. His first goal for Nantes was in a French Cup match against Dijon two weeks that Nantes won 3-0. He now has two goals in four matches for the French side.

The goal may convince Nantes coach Serge Dizet to start Oliech more often in both league and French Cup matches.

Dizet was quoted two weeks ago on the club's website saying Oliech is yet to be fit to play a full game.
