Nigerian exports : Al Hilal's and Napoli's Super Eagles strikers come up with the goods

Published: February 21, 2022

Allnigeriasoccer.com brings you the Nigeria-eligible players that found the net for their respective clubs in league and cup matches across Europe and Asia on Monday, February 21.

Odion Ighalo made it two goals in as many matches in this season's King's Cup after his 62nd minute strike for Al Hilal in a 2-1 win over Al-Nassr Riad at Mrsool Park.

Al Hilal found themselves trailing 1-0 but their number nine powered home a header to restored parity in the 62nd minute.

A winter signing from Al Shabab, Ighalo has now notched four goals in his first four appearances for the capital outfit, playing in three different competitions - Club World Cup, Saudi Pro League and King's Cup.

Elsewhere, Napoli came to Sardinia knowing that victory will send them top of the Italian Serie A table but they almost came away with nothing and have to thank second half substitute Victor Osimhen for rescuing a point.

Off the bench midway through the second half, Osimhen came up with the goods when he headed in the equaliser in the 87th minute.

Up next for Osimhen and his Napoli teammates, they face European powerhouse Barcelona in the Europa League knockout round playoff tie this coming Thursday.
