The 25-year-old had a contract that kept him at his former club until the summer of 2023 but the club has decided to sell him after his buy-out clause was triggered.

The former Black Shot stopper has signed a 3-year deal with the current UEFA league campaigners until 2025.

Abalora has managed to keep five clean sheets in his 9 appearances for the Porcupine Warriors in the ongoing 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season.

Reports from sports journalist, Saddick Adams stated his former club received an offer for the goalkeeper some time ago and made sure they had adequately prepared for his exit before they signed the deal.

The club claimed the team have enough quality in the department to continue their quest for the league.

FC Sheriff Tiraspol also has three Ghanaian internationals, Edmund Addo, Patrick Kpozo, and Abdul Basit Khalid in their fold.

It was the David vs Goliath fixture that had everyone whispering, what if the competition debutants do it again?

And in the opening exchanges seemed to suggest no, as the 13-time European Champions took control of the game and produced series of decent chances through Karim Benzema.

But with a quarter of an hour gone the visitors produced a sucker punch that silenced the home crowd. Cristiano was given too much space down the left flank, which allowed him the time to deliver a perfect cross into the box which found Jasurbek Yakhshiboev who headed the ball past Thibaut Courtois.

Sheriff relied heavily on their keeper Giorgos Athanasiadis to keep them in the game as he made a collection of excellent saves.

The second half saw Madrid continue to turn the screw on the visitors and they eventually won a penalty through Vinícius Júnior who was deemed to be brought down inside the box by Edmund Addo.

Up stepped Benzema who dispatched the spot-kick perfectly to not only level the scoreline but also became the competition’s fourth-highest scorer outright.

The game continued to produce plenty of drama as substitute Bruno had the ball in the back net for Sheriff, only for it to be called offside after a lengthy VAR check.

Late on Thill’s stunning strike took the win for Sheriff in a moment of footballing history.

Next up for Madrid is an away trip to Espanol in the league while Sheriff Tiraspol also return to domestic action against Milsami.
