True to the words of Dudu Dahan, respected Israeli agent of Juwon Oshaniwa, the wing-back was restored to the starting line-up for the Cup clash with Hapoel Ramat Hasharon on Tuesday evening.<br /><br />Oshaniwa had missed at least two days of training last week as he was processing his United States visa for the friendly against Mexico early next month.<br /><br />Logically, he was left out of the squad for the Premier League tie with Maccabi Petah Tikva last weekend.<br /><br />There were suggestions by the Israeli press that the Super Eagle was not pulling his weight at training but those claims were vehemently denied by Oshaniwa and his agent.<br /><br />By the way, it was a bitter - sweet return for Juwon Oshaniwa as Ashdod failed to qualify for the last 8 of the State Cup, losing 8 - 7 on penalties to Hapoel Ramat Hasharon.<br /><br />The Nigeria international confidently slotted his penalty to bring the scoreline to 7 - 6 in favor of Ashdod before a miss by teammate, <span style=\"\\&quot;\\\\&quot;\\\\\\\\&quot;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\&quot;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\&quot;\\\\\\\\&quot;\\\\&quot;\\&quot;\" class=\"\\&quot;\\\\&quot;\\\\\\\\&quot;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\&quot;notranslate\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\&quot;\\\\\\\\&quot;\\\\&quot;\\&quot;\">Hatem Abd al-Hamid.</span>
