The typical goal-scoring Nigerian football players, such as Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen, and Victor Boniface, scored for their respective teams last weekend, in contrast to prior weeks.

The top-performing Nigerian football players from last weekend are listed below:

October 20, Sunday

(Genk 3-2 Sint-Truiden) Tolu Arokodare

In a First Division A game at Cegeka Arena, Tolu Arokodare showed off his skills for Genk, helping them defeat Sint-Truiden 3-2. In addition to setting up El Ouahdi for the third goal just before halfway, he opened the scoring in the eighteenth minute with a Bonsu Baah assist. Arokodare became the top scorer in First Division A after his outstanding performance, which increased his goal total to seven.

Moses Simon, Nice, Nantes 1-1

Moses Simon kept up his strong play for Nantes in French Ligue 1, contributing a vital assist in their 1-1 draw with OGC Nice. Nantes took a 1-0 lead in the 67th minute thanks to his assist for Abline’s goal, but Nice’s equalizer forced them to settle for a draw. With two goals and two assists in his seven Ligue 1 games this season, Simon, at 29, has established himself as a vital member of his side.

Nigerian football players had the best performances overseas on Saturday, October 19:

Galatasaray defeated Antalyaspor 3-0 thanks to a spectacular overhead kick from Victor Osimhen, who triumphantly returned from injury. With three goals and four assists in only five games after joining on loan from Napoli, Osimhen’s exceptional skill as a substitute has cemented his status as a vital player.

Joe Aribo scored for Southampton in the Premier League following a six-month hiatus. His efforts, however, were insufficient to defeat Leicester City, who made an incredible comeback.

Samuel Chukwueze scored the game-winning goal in AC Milan’s tense 1-0 victory over Udinese in Italy, ending an eight-game goal drought. In addition to earning the team important points, his performance was a major turning point in his season.

Victor Boniface had a mixed performance in the German Bundesliga, missing a penalty kick and scoring the game-winning goal in the closing seconds for Bayer Leverkusen versus Eintracht Frankfurt at the BayArena.

In front of ecstatic home fans, coach Xabi Alonso’s team secured a 2-1 victory thanks to Boniface, who has scored eight goals in nine Bundesliga games this season.

With an assist on the first goal, Raphael Onyedika helped his team win 2-1 in Belgium. The 23-year-old midfielder has now contributed two assists to the Jupiler Pro League team’s season total across all competitions.
