UEL wrap: Lazio's Dele-Bashiru scores and assists; Porto's Omorodion continues red-hot form

Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of the Nigeria-eligible players who scored for their respective clubs in the UEFA Europa League on Wednesday, September 25.

In Norway, Spain U23 international Samuel Omorodion continued his red-hot form by scoring in Porto's 3-2 loss to FK Bodo Glimt at Aspmyra Stadium.

Signed from Atlético de Madrid after a proposed move to Chelsea fell through, Omorodion's goal against the Norwegian side meant he has now scored in three consecutive games and took his tally to four for the Portuguese side.

Omorodion opened the scoring in the 8th minute when he sent a glancing header past the goalkeeper after a pass from defender Francisco Moura.

At Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru marked his return to the squad with a goal and an assist, helping Lazio secure a 3-0 victory over Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv.

Before the visit to Germany, the Manchester City academy product had been benched for Lazo's last two league matches.

Dele-Bashiru latched onto Vecino's through ball and expertly placed his shot into the back of the net to double Lazio's advantage in the 33rd minute.

Two minutes later, the Lazio number 7 turned from scorer to provider when he delivered a curling right-footed cross to Boulaye Dia, who leapt high to nod in his second of the game and the last goal of the encounter.

Dele-Bashiru was substituted in the 79th minute for  Tijjani Noslin, who was later sent off for violent conduct.
