Nigerian striker Stephen Alfred continues to rise in European football, scoring the decisive goal that sent Torpedo Zhodino into the next round of the Europa Conference League qualifiers.
On a high-stakes night at the Toše Proeski Arena, Alfred’s early strike proved enough to seal a hard-fought 1-0 away win over North Macedonian side Rabotnicki, confirming Torpedo’s dominance in the two-legged tie, Footballrover reports.
Stephen Alfred Strikes Early to Finish the Job
The 27-year-old Nigerian forward wasted no time making an impact. Just 14 minutes into the second leg, Alfred latched onto a clever assist from Pavel Sedko and coolly slotted home the only goal of the match.
That moment of brilliance ensured the Belarusian club maintained full control after winning the first leg 3-0 at home.
It was in that first leg that Alfred had also wrapped up the scoring with a goal in stoppage time, showing his consistency and importance to the squad.
With goals in both legs, Alfred has now scored in back-to-back Europa Conference League games — a form his team will be counting on moving forward.

Alfred’s goals are not just winning games—they’re writing a European story worth following.
