Round up of the Nigerian players that were on target for their respective European clubs in matches on Tuesday, August 21.

Falkenberg have secured a place in the group stage of the Svenska Cupen after thrashing their Division 2 opponents, Skoftebyn, 4-1, with Chisom Egbuchulam netting twice.

The former Enugu Rangers striker made it 2-0 in the 15th minute before netting his second of the evening on the hour mark. He had a chance to score a hat-trick but shot over.

Still in the second round of the Svenska Cupen, Moses Ogbu played his part in Sirius's 4-0 rout of Strömsberg at Hedens IP 1 by opening the scoring and was joined on the score-sheet by the 18-year-old midfielder Henry Offia five minutes from time.

Ogbu is enjoying a rich vein of form in recent games, with his strike against Strömsberg his third in four games in all tournaments.

In the English League One, ex-Flying Eagles invitee Freddie Ladapo opened his account for his new club Plymouth Argyle in their 1-1 draw vs Adebayo Akinfenwa's Wycombe Wanderers.

Ladapo lobbed the goalkeeper to open the scoring in the fourth minute. It was his fourth league game this term.

Elsewhere, Lincoln City recovered from a one goal deficit to beat Bury 2-1 in a League Two match staged at Sincil Bank Stadium.

Lincoln City summer signing John Akinde took his tally to four goals in four matches when he converted a penalty kick in the 75th minute and equalized for the Imps in the process.
