PAOK's Akpom Continues Good Form; Sadiq Nets Maiden Goal For Perugia
Published: February 28, 2019A round-up of the Nigerian players that were on target for their respective European clubs on Wednesday, February 27.
Roma loanee Sadiq Umar has taken six games to open his goalscoring account for Perugia after finding the net in their 3-2 win at Venezia in a Serie B clash at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo.
The former Nigeria U23 international collected the ball in midfield, then embarked on a run before firing a right-footed strike past goalkeeper Vicario in the 12th minute.
The 22-year-old Sadiq has gone the distance in three of the six games he has featured in since returning from an uneventful loan spell with Rangers in Scotland.
Elsewhere, in-form Chuba Akpom played a key role as PAOK advanced to the semifinals of the Greek Football Cup by scoring in the 114th minute in a 4-2 win against Panionios.
The Arsenal product headed home from close range after Panionios failed to deal with a cross into the box.
Akpom has contributed to seven goals (4 goals, 3 assists) in eleven appearances for PAOK in 2019.
