Published: December 12, 2024
Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of the Nigeria-eligible players who scored for their respective clubs in the UEFA Europa League and Conference League on Thursday, December 12.
Lazio are topping the league phase of the Europa League thanks to their 3-1 road win against Chuba Akpom's Ajax Amsterdam at Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru continued his rich vein of form in the competition by netting Lazio's second goal six minutes into the second half, after Bertrand Traoré's equalizer in the 49th minute.
The Super Eagles midfielder was at the back post to fire substitute Zaccagni's low cross into the net, taking his goal involvement in the Europa League to four in as many games.
Elsewhere, Spain international Samuel Aghehowa scored another goal for Porto in a 2-0 win over Danish opponents FC Midtjylland.
Ten minutes into the second half, the 2024 Olympics gold medalist managed to slot the ball into the net from close range despite the attention of two defenders.
Samu has scored fifteen goals in eighteen matches this season, making him one of Europe's most prolific strikers with a goal every 88 minutes.
In the UEFA Conference League (UECL), Southampton academy graduate Kazeem Olaigbe inspired Cercle Brugge to an impressive 4-1 road win against NK Olimpija Ljubljana by netting a brace and providing an assist.
The Belgium U21 international opened and closed the scoring in the 2nd and 81st minute respectively, while also setting up Cercle Brugge's third goal scored by Kévin Denkey.
Olaigbe has six goals in all competitions this term, including four in European competition.
