Published: October 05, 2018

Round up of the Nigerian players that were on target for their European clubs on Friday, October 5.

In the Turkish Super Lig, Samuel Eduok's Kasimpasa beat Göztepe 3-1 at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu (İstanbul) with the Nigeria international continuing his fine form with two goals for the home team.

The winger's left-footed strike from inside the area gave Kasimpasa the lead in the 21st minute and he recorded another goal two minutes after the restart off an assist from Mahmoud Trézéguet.

Over to the Russian Premier League, Sylvester Igboun also netted for the second successive game as Ufa were held to a 1-1 draw by Arsenal Tula.

The out-of-favour Super Eagles striker curled the ball beyond goalkeeper Nigmatullin in the second minute of first half stoppage time.

Ufa are undefeated in their last three games in the topflight and provisionally sit 13th in the standings with nine points.

In the Belgian First Division A, ex-Golden Eaglets sensation Victor Osimhen made it three goals in four games for Sporting Charleroi but could not prevent his team from slipping to a 2-1 loss to Cercle Brugge at Jan Breydelstadion (Brugge).

The Wolfsburg loanee, who played the full game, netted in the 32nd minute but goals from De Belder and Javi Martos (OG) won it for Cercle Brugge.
