Top Nigerian Football Players Who Scored Goals During the Weekend in Europe

While some Nigerian football players were on teams that lost last weekend all around Europe and were unable to do anything about it, some Nigerians showed up for their respective teams.

Football players from Nigeria, such as Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen, who are typically reliable goal scorers, were absent from their sides last weekend.

Due to fitness concerns, Osimhen didn’t even make the squad, but his club still managed to draw 2-2 in the Italian Serie A against AC Milan.

Regarding Boniface, he didn’t get much of a chance to play in Sunday’s German Bundesliga match against SC Freiburg, but his club still prevailed 2-1.
