A couple of Nigerian footballers abroad gave a good account of themselves last weekend as they helped their respective clubs to record positive results.
Nigerian footballers abroad, like Victor Osimhen and Moses Simon, couldn’t do much for their respective teams. In the case of Osimhen, he didn’t play for Galatasaray last weekend due to fitness issues.
Below were the top-performing Nigerian footballers abroad last weekend:
SUNDAY
SPAIN
Gift Monday, the Super Falcons striker, scored her third league goal of the season, leading Tenerife to a 1-0 win over Betis. She scored immediately after the restart by turning home a cross from Aleksandra Zaremba.
THE NETHERLANDS
Chuba Akpom proved he deserved a regular place in Ajax’s starting lineup as he came off the bench to score in their 3-1 win against Groningen. He now has two goals and one assist in four games.
