UEFA Champions League Wrap : Igiebor On Target For Maccabi Tel Aviv, AS Trencin Duo Kingsley Madu And Rabiu Ibrahim Make Champions League Debut

Allnigeriasoccer.com reviews the performances of Nigerian players that were in action for their respective clubs in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

Nosa Igiebor worked 90 minutes in midfield for Maccabi Tel Aviv in their surprise 2 - 1 loss to  Hibernians.

The Yellows number 40 opened scoring in the 22nd minute but Hibs scored two goals in the second half to take a slender lead to Israel next week. Malta youth international Joseph Mbong came off the bench in injury time for the Maltese champions.

It was always going to be difficult for AS Trencin to get the needed result against 1986 champions Steaua Bucharest despite two Nigeria internationals - Rabiu Ibrahim and Kingsley Madu - named in their starting XI.

The Slovakia champions have a mountain to climb in the second leg after losing 2 - 0 to the Army Men at home. Playmaker Rabiu Ibrahim was replaced 11 minutes from time.

Away to the Olimpijski Stadion Asim Ferhatovi� Hase for the game between FK Sarajevo and Lech Pozna�. New signing Harmony Ikande did not make the 18 for the Bosnia champs.
