Nigerian forward Moses Usor once again delivered an impressive performance, scoring to help LASK secure a hard-fought away draw against Austrian Bundesliga leaders Sturm Graz.

The 24-year-old was at the heart of the action, opening the scoring before watching his side reduced to nine men in a dramatic 1-1 draw at the Stadion Graz-Liebenau, Footballrover reports.

Moses Usor shines as LASK fight against the odds

Usor has now registered three goals and two assists in his last six outings. This Round 28 clash in the Bundesliga championship group saw the forward net his 11th goal of the season.

He now boasts 15 goal contributions in 31 appearances across all competitions, including four assists. Usor featured for 72 minutes before being replaced by George Bello.

LASK endured a chaotic evening in Graz but showed resilience to secure a valuable point despite their numerical disadvantage.

The drama started early when Alemão received a second yellow card in the 18th minute, forcing LASK into damage control mode.

Despite the setback, they struck first after the break. Moses Usor calmly slotted home in the 52nd minute following a clever assist from Sascha Horvath.

However, the situation worsened in the 67th minute when Samuel Adeniran was sent off for a second bookable offence, leaving LASK with nine men.

Sturm Graz eventually found their breakthrough in the 78th minute, as Otar Kiteishvili converted from the penalty spot to level the score.

LASK held firm under intense late pressure to secure a spirited draw. The result leaves Usor and his teammates in third place with 27 points, missing the chance to leapfrog the leaders, who are now two points clear.

Gong continues red-hot scoring streak in Slovakia

Elsewhere in the Slovak Niké Liga, Nigerian forward Hilary Gong maintained his fine form, scoring again to help Spartak Trnava claim a 2-1 home victory over DAC 1904.

Gong netted the equaliser as Trnava came from behind to secure an entertaining win.

The 27-year-old has now scored in four consecutive matches, recording six goal involvements in that run—five goals and one assist.

His latest effort marked his sixth league goal of the season, achieved in just his sixth start.

With three league assists and two additional goals in the Slovakia Cup, Gong now has 11 goal contributions in 21 appearances across all competitions.

He played 87 minutes before being substituted for Patrick Karhan.

DAC took the lead in the 33rd minute through Abdoulaye Gueye, who finished a well-worked move assisted by Samsondin Ouro.

Trnava responded strongly after the break, and their pressure paid off in the 67th minute when Hilary Gong powered home a header from Marin Lausic’s assist.

The hosts completed the comeback in the 75th minute, with Jakub Paur scoring from Luka Khorkheli’s setup to seal a deserved victory.
