Super Eagles Rising Star Sanusi On Target For Porto In Seven-Goal Thriller

Published: December 06, 2020

Porto and CD Tondela produced a seven-goal thriller at the Estádio do Dragão on Saturday night, with the Portuguese champions beating their opponents by the odd goal.

Nigeria international Zaidu Sanusi opened his account for Porto in the Primeira Liga when he broke the deadlock with a left-footed strike from inside the box in the fourth minute after a swift counter-attacking move.

Sanusi's other goal for the Blue and Whites was against Marseille in the Champions League eleven days ago.

Mario González and Rafael Barbosa got on the scoresheet to put the visitors 2-1 up but Moussa Marega's goal ensured it was level at the break.

In the second half, Porto led 4-2 thanks to goals from Marega and Taremi, before Mario González pulled a goal back to make the last sixteen minutes uncomfortable for Porto.

In his 12th appearance across all competitions for Porto, Sanusi put in a full shift - the eighth time he has gone the distance this season.

Up next for Sanusi and his teammates, they face Olympiakos in the Champions League on Wednesday, December 9.
