Published: April 10, 2022

Allnigeriasoccer.com's review of the Nigeria-eligible players that found the net for their respective European clubs in league matches on Sunday, April 10, 2022.

We begin in Italy. Victor Osimhen's sixteenth goal of the season counted for nothing as Napoli were beaten 3-2 by Fiorentina at the Diego Maradona Stadium.

Six minutes from time, the Super Eagles striker controlled the ball with his chest from a long pass before lashing into the roof of the net. The number 9 provided the assist for Napoli's first goal.

In the Jupiler Pro League, Bayern Munich loanee Joshua Zirkzee also scored and provided an assist as Anderlecht registered a 3-2 road win against Kortrijk, taking his goal involvement for the season to 27 (17 goals, 10 assists) in all competitions.

The prolific Netherlands U21 international scored to make it 1-1 after the home team took the lead and set up Anderlecht's third goal in the 57th minute.

Europa Conference League surprise package Bodo/Glimt defeated Sandefjord 2-1 in a Norwegian Eliteserien clash at Release Arena (Sandefjord).

Bodo/Glimt star Victor Boniface opened his account for the season in the domestic championship in the thirteenth minute.

Still in the Norwegian top-flight. Fred Friday netted what eventually proved to be consolation goals as Strømsgodset were defeated 3-1 by Molde.

The former AZ Alkmaar and Lillestom striker broke the deadlock four minutes before halftime, only for Strømsgodset to concede three goals in the second half.
