In the 36th minute of the encounter, Yusuf received the ball from the opponent's half, went on to dribble past Uche Agbo and shot the ball into the top left corner of the net to make it 2-0.
This is Yusuf's second goal in a UEFA competition this term, having scored in the UEFA Champions League qualification match between FC Pyunik and F91 Dudelange.
The former Atletico Madrid youth teamer becomes the third Nigerian to be nominated for the award in the 2022/2023 UEFA Europa Conference League.
Super Eagles duo Samuel Chukwueze and Peter Olayinka were nominated last week but failed to win the award.
