Published: October 28, 2021

Allnigeriasoccer.com, regarded as the most reputable outlet on Nigerian players abroad, brings you the Nigeria-eligible players that found the net for their respective clubs in league and cup matches across Europe and Asia on Thursday, October 28.

Former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo is proving that age is just a number with his fine form for Al-Shabab in the Saudi Arabian Pro League.

By getting on the scoresheet in the 23rd minute of Al-Shabab's 3-0 rout of Al Tai at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, it meant the 32-year-old has now tallied nine goals in ten league matches - more than any other player in the division.

Ighalo produced an improvised header from a corner to double the home team's advantage.

Another former Norwegian-based striker in Samuel Adegbenro has put himself in the shop window ahead of the re-opening of the transfer window.

Three minutes into the second half, the former Rosenborg man opened the scoring in IFK Norrköping's 2-2 draw at home to Mjallby and in doing so took his tally to seventeen goals in all competitions, with fifteen including today's strike in the Swedish Allsvenskan.

Paul Mukairu opened his account for the season as Antalyaspor registered an emphatic 5-0 win over Diyarbakir FK AS 1977 in a Turkish Cup clash at Antalya Stadyumu.

After firing blanks in 470 minutes of action spread across eight matches in league and cup, Mukairu found the back of the net in the 83rd minute to wrap up the scoring for Antalyaspor.
