It was another action-packed weekend for Nigerian players abroad, with goals flying in across Europe and beyond—decisive strikes, late winners, and standout individual displays lighting up multiple leagues as Emeka Eze and Francis Ezeh lead the charge.

Emeka Eze and Francis Ezeh Lead the Charge in Turkey

Leading the headlines, Emeka Eze continued his fine scoring run, netting the third goal in Sariyer SK’s comfortable 3-0 home win over Serikspor in Turkey.

The 29-year-old forward now has three goals in his last five matches, taking his season tally to nine, alongside two assists—quietly building a very solid campaign.

Over in the same country, Francis Ezeh kept his creative streak alive with an assist for the third consecutive game as Ankara Keciorengucu cruised past Van Spor with 3-0 win.

His numbers are now impressive—10 goals and 6 assists—making him one of the most productive Nigerians in the Turkish lower tiers this season.

In Bulgaria, it was a show of class from Samuel Kalu, who grabbed a brace to inspire Botev Plovdiv to a thumping 5-0 win over Spartak Varna.

A statement performance from the winger, who looked sharp and decisive throughout.

Lithuania also witnessed a Nigerian masterclass as FK Suduva demolished Riteriai 5-0. Henry Uzochukwu ran the show with an assist across 90 minutes, while Tom Lucky added gloss to the scoreline with the fifth goal.

Elsewhere in the country, Barry Isaac powered home a header in Hegelmann’s 3-1 win, and Kazeem Ojo opened scoring for FK Minija in their 2-1 victory.

There was late drama in Portugal, where Stanley Iheanacho emerged the hero, netting a stoppage-time winner to hand CD Mafra a 2-1 victory.

In the Czech Republic, John Auta matched that energy with an equaliser for Teplice ten minutes into additional time, rescuing a point in dramatic fashion.

Slovenia delivered one of the most chaotic moments of the weekend. Nwachukwu Prosper Obiora struck twice in just one minute (66th and 67th), but still ended up on the losing side as Beltinci edged Gorica 3-2—thanks in part to a goal from Samod Akinrenmi.

India wasn’t left out either, with Nsungusi Effiong scoring and Bede Amarachi Osuji assisting in Punjab FC’s 2-1 win.

Meanwhile, Chinedu Stephen bagged a brace in Uzbekistan, and Olalekan Opajobi did the same in Malta to secure a crucial away win.

Nigerian Stars Dominate Across Europe

Across Albania, Belarus, Iraq, and Romania, Nigerians kept delivering:

Fawaz Abdullahi struck a late winner for Dynamo Minsk

Paul Komolafe opened scoring for Newroz SC

Chukwu Ibuchi Goodnews found the net in Romania Cup action

Malomo Taofeek and Ibrahim Mustapha contributed in Dinamo City’s dominant win

To wrap it up, Solomon John, Quadri Adediran, and Tayo Abiodun all got on the scoresheet for their respective sides, capping off a weekend where Nigerian talent once again proved decisive across multiple leagues.
