Tenton Yenne continues to make headlines, delivering yet another match-winning goal for FC Ararat Armenia.

The Nigerian forward stepped up under pressure in the Armenia Cup quarterfinal first leg, ensuring his team took a crucial advantage, Footballrover reports.

But he wasn’t the only Nigerian shining across Europe this week—seven others also found the back of the net or provided key assists in different leagues.

Tenton Yenne’s decisive spot-kick keeps FC Ararat’s hopes alive

Tenton Yenne has been in sensational form this season, following up his goal and assist in a 2-1 win over FC Pyunik with another decisive strike.

The 24-year-old scored from the penalty spot in the 48th minute against Urartu FC to seal the win and send his team through to the next round of the Armenia Cup.

Yenne’s composure and clinical finishing have made him a standout figure in this competition, and his contributions continue to propel FC Ararat forward.

Nigerian stars spark excitement across European leagues

Elsewhere in Europe, Nigerian stars were equally instrumental in their teams’ successes.

Ndubuisi Eneh found the back of the net for FK Apolonia Fier in Albania Kategoria Pare, leveling the score before halftime in their 2-1 loss to Flamurtari.

Though his equaliser wasn’t enough to avoid defeat, Eneh’s performance was a highlight.

In the Albania Superliga, Itodo Mandela helped Dinamo Tirana secure a dominant 4-1 victory over FK Tirana, scoring the fourth goal to cap off a commanding win.

The 18th-minute goal was key in cementing their victory, and Mandela’s all-around performance was a key factor in the dominant away win.

Meanwhile, in the Swiss Super League, Philip Otele made his presence felt with an assist to help FC Basel beat Sion 2-0.

Otele’s precise setup for Xherdan Shaqiri sealed the win after Basel had taken an early lead through an own goal.

In Cyprus 1st Division, Godswill Ekpolo opened the scoring in AEK Larnaca’s 2-0 win over ALS Omonia, ensuring his side went into the break with a crucial lead.

Enzo Cabrera sealed the victory late in the match, but Ekpolo’s early contribution was key.

Gidado Victor salvaged a point for NK Bravo in Slovenia Prva Liga, scoring the equalizer in a 1-1 draw with NS Mura.

His goal in the 33rd minute was vital, keeping his team in the hunt for a top finish.

In North Macedonia MFL 1, Alhassan Ibrahim proved the difference for FC Shkendija, scoring the only goal in a tight 1-0 win over Tikves.

Ibrahim’s skillful flick in the 35th minute ensured his side claimed all three points despite being reduced to ten men.

Finally, in the Croatia Cup, Salim Lawal scored a quick-fire opener for NK Istra 1961, leading his team to a 3-0 victory over Locomotiva Zagreb.

His early goal set the tone for the match, and Lawal was subbed off later as his side cruised to the win.

A memorable week for Nigerian stars

From Armenia to Croatia, Nigerian players made a statement across European leagues, delivering clutch performances when it mattered most.

These players have proven they are not only making an impact on the pitch but are also creating a buzz in their respective leagues.

Tenton Yenne once again led the charge, but with seven other stars stepping up, it was a remarkable week for Nigerian footballers abroad.

As the season progresses, we can expect even more from these talented Nigerian stars.
