Updated : Norwegian Premier League Round Up : Innocent Bonke Continues To Impress; Akeem Latifu Opens Account

Allnigeriasoccer.com editor and expert on Scandinavian football takes a look at the Nigerian players that were in action in the Norwegian Tippeligaen on Saturday evening.

We begin at the Aspmyra Stadion, where Bodo/Glimt won their first game of the new season against Tromso. Midfielder Dominic Chatto was subbed on in the 90th minute. 1 - 0 it ended.

Innocent Bonke continues to impress at the heart of midfield for Lillestom. The 19 - year - old started and completed his third straight game for the Canaries, assisting the Arasen Stadium outfit defeat Sarpsborg 08 3 - 1.

On the other hand, striker Fred Friday, credited with being the youngest Nigerian player to score a hat - trick in Norway, made the 18 but did not come off the bench.

Odd Grenland drew goalless with Haugesund  at Skagerak Arena . 9,054 spectators watched Chuks Bentley Akabueze make his ninth appearance of the season for the Skien outfit.


The key point we are picking from this game is not Leke James and Akeem Latifu being named in the starting line - up but the defender scoring his first goal of the season.

Stroemsgodset striker Marvin Ogunjimi was an unused substitute for the third time this season.

In the late game, Viking narrowly defeated IK Start 1 - 0 with three Nigerians on parade at the Viking Stadium.

 For the home team, Samuel Adegbenro and Suleiman Abdullahi were subbed out in the 69th and 79th minute respectively while Solomon Owello came off the bench for IK Start in the 68th minute
