Catch up on the Nigerian players that found the net for the respective clubs in matches across Europe on Wednesday, April 18.
Arsenal loanee Chuba Akpom deserves to be applauded after scoring his third goal in a St.Truiden shirt in their 3-1 win at Beerschot-Wilrijk. The Hale End Academy product converted from the spot to give the visitors a 2-0 lead in the 52nd minute.
Still in Belgium, out-of-favor Super Eagles striker Joseph Akpala grabbed an equalizer with eight minutes remaining as Oostende were held to a 2-2 draw at Lokeren.
Across the border in the Netherlands, there were goals for an old and young striker in the Eredivisie.
2002 World Cup star Bartholomew Ogbeche will not be lacking suitors at the end of this season after netting his tenth league goal in Willem II's 5-1 loss to Feyenoord at Koning Willem II Stadion.
Another in-form striker, Nigeria's top scorer at the 2016 Olympic Games Sadiq Umar, wrote his name on the score-sheet but NAC Breda eventually lost 2-1 to Ryan Sanusi's Sparta Rotterdam.
The Roma loanee's 73rd minute effort took his tally to 5 goals ( 3 assists) from 11 appearances.
Manchester City loanee Olarenwaju Kayode celebrated his full debut by scoring Shakhtar Donetsk's fourth goal as they claimed a 5-1 win over Mariupol in the Ukrainian Cup.
Over to Norway. The most eye-catching performance came from Molde's Daniel Chima who notched a hat-trick against Traeff in the Norwegian Cup. The striker opened and closed the scoring in the 7th and 90th minutes.
