Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke opened his goalscoring account for the new season as Sevilla secured an important away victory over Athletic Bilbao at the San Mamés Stadium.
Ejuke produced a decisive attacking contribution to help Sevilla claim all three points in a difficult away fixture against the Basque side.
The Nigerian international, who is known for his pace, dribbling ability and direct attacking style, showed his quality by finding the back of the net to mark his first goal of the season.
Playing at the iconic San Mamés, Sevilla faced a strong Athletic Bilbao side in front of their home supporters, but Ejuke’s contribution proved crucial as the visitors came away with the win.
The goal will be particularly significant for Ejuke as he looks to establish himself as an important figure in Sevilla’s attack this season.
His ability to beat defenders and create opportunities from wide areas has made him one of the Nigerian players to watch in European football.
For the Super Eagles, Ejuke’s early-season form will also be encouraging as Nigeria continues to monitor the performances of its players competing at the highest level in Europe.
The goal at San Mamés gives Ejuke an early boost in confidence and could set the tone for what promises to be an important campaign for the 28-year-old winger.
With Sevilla beginning to build momentum, Ejuke will now hope to maintain his scoring form and make further contributions as the Spanish season progresses.
