Even at 32, Olarewaju Kayode is not slowing down as he scored one of the goals for his Turkish club Esenier Erokspor in their 5-0 win over Serik Spor.

Former Banik Ostrava defender was the star for Sparta in a 3-2 victory over Dukla in a Praha Derby. The 22-year-old right centre back struck twice, in the 20th and 74th minutes, to ensure victory for Sparta. He has already improved his goals tally from last season when he scored a goal in 26 appearances. Sparta top the standings on 16 points after six rounds of matches, two points ahead of city rivals and defending champions Slavia.

Galatasaray record transfer signing has begun paying off the fortune the Turkish champions splashed to snap him up from Napoli as he scored his first goal of the new season in a 4-0 win over Kayserispor. Galatasaray have won all three of their opening games of the new season. It was Osimhen’s 38th goal in 43 appearances for the Istanbul giants after he fired 37 goals last season.

The Super Eagles striker showed that he has fully recovered from an ACL injury that cost him most of last season when he came off the bench to score his first goal of the new campaign. He hit target in the 76th minute and was only denied a brace in stoppage time as OGC Nice defeated Auxerre 3-1. He earned a decent rating of 7.6.
