Victor Olatunji has become the first Nigerian to score and assist on his UEFA Champions League debut.
The Sokoto-born striker shone for Czech club Sparta Praha against RB Salzburg of Austria Wednesday night.
The 25-year-old striker got on the end of a lofted ball down the right from Filip Panak, and took a one- time strike despite the acute angle, to open his goals account on Europe’s top stage.
He celebrated by revealing an undershirt that displayed ‘I am Chosen. Who are you?’ to extend a debate raging in Nigeria over the Chosen Church.
Olatunji was also the creator of Sparta Praha’s third goal after he set up Qazim Lazi to extend his team’s lead.
He finished the game with the highest Sofascore Rating (7.9/10).
