Two Nigerians were in action for their respective clubs in the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday.
Vincent Enyeama was in action for Lille OSC while Abduljeleel Ajagun got the nod to start for Greek club, Panathinaikos.
It was a good night for Enyeama as he played for 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw against Swiss club, Grasshopper, at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Lille progressed 3-1 on aggregate to the playoffs having won the first leg 2-0.
Enyeama was outstanding, producing four saves to keep the visitors at bay and attracting praise from his teammate, Sébastien Corchia.[eap_ad_2]
“We knew the game would be hard because Grasshopper is a good team. We were a bit relaxed when we conceded that goal but the great reflexes of Vincent (Enyeama) gave us a lot of confidence,” he told the club’s official website, losc.fr.
The story was different for Ajagun who started for Panathinaikos against the Belgian club, Standard Liege.
It turned out to be a night to forget for Ajagun as the Belgians won 2-1 at the Stadio Apóstolos Nikolaidis, Athens.
Ajagun played for 85 minutes in the first leg. (supersport.com)[eap_ad_3]
