Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of the Nigeria-eligible players that were on target for their respective clubs in matches across Europe on Sunday, December 29.

Super Eagles striker Olarenwaju Kayode continued his rich vein of form after netting the opening goal as Gaziantep FK and Yeni Malatyaspor played out a 1-1 draw in a Turkish Super Lig clash at the Kalyon Stadyumu.

The Shakhtar Donetsk loanee intercepted a wayward backpass by a Yeni Malatyaspor defender, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted into the net to make it 1-0.

Kayode's 21st minute striker was his eighth goal in the league from thirteen appearances.

In a Serie B clash at Ezio Scida, Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo rounded up the scoring in the 83rd minute as Crotone claimed an emphatic 3-0 win against Trapani.

The lanky forward scored from the spot to take his tally for the season to nine goals in the Italian second tier.

Let's go to England now. In the EFL League One, Wycombe Wanderers suffered a first home defeat in the league this season, losing 4-1 to Coventry City at Adams Park.

In his first taste of action after serving a one-game ban, Adebayo Akinfenwa fired home to make it 1-1 at minute 13, his seventh goal in 22 league appearances this term.

Still in the division, former Golden Eaglets invitee Daniel Udoh netted a crucial equaliser as Shrewsbury Town were held to a 1-1 draw by Bolton Wanderers at the University of Bolton Stadium.

Also eligible to play for Togo and England, Udoh latched onto a loose ball and fired into the net in the 53d minute.

A division lower, Elijah Adebayo's 70th minute strike could not prevent Walsall from suffering a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Carlisle United.

The former Fulham youngster slotted home the rebound after a teammate's shot hit the bar.
