Imoh Ezekiel, Simeon Nwankwo Score Twice For European Clubs

Standard Liege are four points behind log leaders Club Brugge following their 3 - 1 win over Anderlecht on Sunday in their second game in the play - offs.

And they have to thank Nigeria striker Imoh Ezekiel for scoring a brace and creating an assist in the win over their illustrious opponents.

The one - cap Nigeria international opened scoring in the 21st minute after receiving a pass from Mujangi Bia De Camargo .

Thirteen minutes after the restart, Ezekiel netted his fourth goal for Standard Liege this season before setting up Mujangi Bia four minutes later for The Reds third goal of the night.

The 21 - year - old wasn’t the only Nigerian player to net on brace on Sunday as lanky forward Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo  did score a pair of goals for Gil Vicente in their game with Nacional.

But his goals were meaningless as Gil Vicente, who are struggling to stay afloat, eventually lost 3 - 2 to the home team.

Nwankwo is the leading scorer for his side with 9 goals from 24 Primeira Liga games.
