Daniel Job and Peter Itodo both delivered standout performances in European leagues, with crucial goals shaping results for Kongsvinger IL in Norway and Metalist 1925 in Ukraine.

In the Norwegian OBOS-ligaen, Daniel Job delivered another impressive performance, scoring a crucial goal to help Kongsvinger IL earn a point away from home against Strømmen over the weekend, Footballrover reports.

Daniel Job continues scoring streak in Norway

Despite netting the opening goal of the match, Job watched as his side surrendered a two-goal lead, eventually settling for a 2-2 draw in the 1. Divisjon Round 4 clash at KFUM Arena.

Still early in the season, the 20-year-old has now scored in four consecutive matches, netting four goals in the process while helping Kongsvinger maintain a strong start to their campaign.

While Job grabbed the headlines, his compatriot Tochukwu Joseph also featured for the hosts, coming on to replace Anders Johannessen Nord with just five minutes left on the clock.

What looked like a routine win quickly turned into late drama as Strømmen snatched a draw in a thrilling four-goal encounter.

The visitors struck first in the 29th minute, with Daniel Job finishing off a neat assist from Ludvig Langrekken to give them the lead.

They remained in control for long spells and doubled their advantage in the 76th minute, with Langrekken this time turning scorer after a setup from Rasmus Opdal Christiansen.

At 2–0, it seemed done and dusted, but Strømmen had other ideas. Nikolai Jakobsen Hristov pulled one back in the 81st minute, assisted by Deni Dashaev, to spark belief in the home side.

Deep into stoppage time, the comeback was complete. Dashaev turned from provider to scorer, grabbing a dramatic equaliser in the 94th minute to rescue a point and cap off a thrilling finish.

Despite the result, Job and his teammates remain unbeaten early in the season, recording three straight wins and a draw, with the Nigerian forward scoring in all four matches.

Peter Itodo rescues Metalist 1925 in Ukraine

In the Ukrainian Premier League, Nigerian forward Peter Itodo came to the rescue of Metalist 1925, scoring to help his side salvage a draw against LNZ Cherkasy.

Itodo came off the bench to net the equaliser as the visitors secured a 1–1 draw at the Cherkasy Arena.

With his team already a goal down, Itodo was introduced in the 64th minute to replace fellow Nigerian Christian Mba, and he made an instant impact, finding the net just six minutes later.

After scoring his first career hat-trick in a commanding 4–0 home win over Veres Rivne, he has now continued his strong run in front of goal.

Cherkasy broke the deadlock in the 56th minute through Artur Ryabov, who combined well with Mark Assinor to open the scoring after a cagey first half.

Peter Itodo then stepped up to rescue his side in the 70th minute, levelling the score after an assist from Illia Krupskyi.

The 22-year-old has now scored five goals in his last six league matches, taking his tally to eight goals in 19 appearances, along with one assist.

Across all competitions, Itodo has been even more prolific, adding five goals in four Ukrainian Cup matches to bring his total goal contributions to 14 this season.
