The decisive moment arrived in the 85th minute when Ejuke pounced on a defensive slip by Valladolid, coolly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper.
His crucial strike not only secured Sevilla’s second league win of the season but also recorded his name in the club’s history as the first Nigerian to score in an official match for the team.
While reflecting on this achievement, Ejuke couldn’t hide his excitement.
In post-match comments shared by Sevilla’s media, the Nigerian international described the experience as “incredible,” expressing his joy over both the victory and the personal milestone.
“It’s an incredible feeling, and it’s also incredible to win. I’m very happy,” Ejuke said, clearly still buzzing from the unforgettable moment in front of the passionate Sevilla fans.
Ejuke, who joined Sevilla from CSKA Moscow after a successful loan spell at Royale Antwerp, is already making waves in La Liga and will be eager to build on this success.

Alongside fellow Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho, who featured as a substitute in the match, Ejuke is paving the way for Nigerian talent at Sevilla.
With Sevilla’s next clash against Athletic Bilbao on the horizon, Ejuke will be looking to continue his fine form, while Iheanacho will be hoping to make his own impact as he settles into his role.
